The process to move your PC to your Mac (whether you use Converter or Migration Assistant) will take several hours, and is largely dependent on the speeds of your computers, the amount of data you’re converting (the size of your PC), and your network connection (if you’re using Migration Assistant). You can register to download Converter here:, and there’s a video walkthrough for version 3 on our YouTube channel. (VMware vCenter Converter is a separate, free program that will allow you to convert a Windows or Linux PC for use with any of multiple VMware products it will not work with Windows 7.) If you have issues with the Migration Assistant migrating over the network or want to only migrate some drives on your Windows PC, you should consider VMware Converter.
