Simple transfer of VMware and Windows again MBP of existing install on a MB

I bought a macbook about 6 weeks merger there and installed and Windows Ultimate edition. I want to get a new MBP now and try to find an easy way to move all the stuff of Fusion/Windows to the new MBP without having to reinstall etc.  I intend to restore the "old" MB to its original state and give them to a friend. I am a novice on Mac and PC stuff, so I need help. I guess that's not as simple as copying the files from one to the other because of partitioning etc.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

No matter how you transfer anything from one Mac to another, you will need to reinstall merger.

If the Virtual Machine is a Virtual Machine based normal file, then Yes, it is as simple as copying the Package of Document of Virtual Machine from one to the other.  The default location for the normal file based on Virtual Machines is "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Documents/Virtual Machines /" even if these can be placed anywhere where you have full access to the.

If you have installed Vista Boot Camp and run the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine, then you will need to use something like Winclone to backup/restore the Boot Camp partition.

  • VMware and Windows 7 no longer exists.

    Hello, my computer froze, and then I had trouble running VMware after this. I deleted a folder documents in my Imac, as it appeared, I got the Documents and Documents 2. Found after there were a number of documents missing, so I restored the. After doing this my windows side of my Mac said there has not been enough room and thus suspended himself. In some ways and I have no idea how, but after reinstalling VMware and running my drive Imac Applications check, everything seemed to go once again, even though he said then my windows was more authentic.
    Then he came in saying he did have enough room again and again suspended. I did everything what I tried before (I think) but no luck. All my Virtual Machine options are grayed out so I can't do everything I found online for help. There is no VMware tools either.
    I'm about to give up and take my Mac to the shop to fix wondered ig can anyone here tell me in simple terms if there is anything I can do about it?
    Thank you

    First of all, I suggest you to check the amount of free space on the disk (available) on the Mac hard drive. Right-click on the Mac HD > info. It should display. I suspect that there are very less amount of disk space on it and that's why the error message.

    If there is very less available disk space, and then try to empty the trash (ensuring that you have anything important in there). Then remove unnecessary files or move them to an external hard drive. If you have movies, iMovie, iTunes, music etc projects, maintaining a disk external hard should be a good idea.

    Once you have freed enough disk space (~ 2-4 GB), you should be able to start your virtual machine very well.

  • Help - installed VMware and Windows 7 and I can not see my Windows desktop

    Hello

    This could be really basic, but I can't seem to get by:

    I just installed VMware 8 on a new Macbook Pro (OS El Capitan).

    I then installed Windows 7, apparently successfully, all the way up to Windows installation was finished and I went to open the virtual machine for the first time.  The office opened very well, but when I went to maximize this mode full-screen, I essentially disappeared.  She is obviously still ongoing, as he urged on antivirus McFee, that I installed it successfully.

    In the library, the virtual machine appears grey, with a basket and McFee icon.

    Screen Shot 2016-03-29 at 8.02.37 AM.png

    I tried to uninstall the machine and install again, but the same thing happened...

    Any ideas?

    In fact, here is a better description of what's going on...

    You are in mode of "unity".

    It is a "cache" mode the windows desktop and allows access to applications as they were Mac apps.

    In your menu bar, there is an icon for the merge, and you can launch Windows apps from there.

    Alternatively, you can simply use "Single window" or mode "full screen" for the traditional windows back office.

    The button to switch is in the "View" menu

    Hope that helps!

    This probably isn't a problem with the virtual machine, but with the Windows installation image that is corrupt (often lead by an incomplete download). Make sure there is the right size and — if provided by MS - the correct checkum.

  • After using a third party partition manager program left to extend my Windows 8 partition, the system of Windows 8 start to a black screen and Windows 8 partition of the drive letter has changed

    Original title: problems of Windows 8

    I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

    Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

    I entered in Safe Mode and found that the drive for Windows 8 letter has been changed (C: = Windows 7;) D: = recovery partition; E: = Windows 8, new drive letter; F: = Windows 8, old drive letter), I tried to change the drive letter, but it does not work.

    Partition of Windows 7 works well (it is what I currently use to put this problem), and I can access the data in the partition of Windows 8. I tried the methods of different repair without result (such as chkdsk and sfc/scannow).

    Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

    Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

    Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

    It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

    Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

    (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

    (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.


    Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.

    System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly. You can use system restore to restore these settings to their previous state

    Follow these steps:

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting from the Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) select System restore.

    After the system restore your documents and files will always remain to their previous state.

    If you do not install Windows 8 media, I suggest you connect to any other computer and create a floppy disk to install Windows 8. Using this disk, you can run the troubleshooting provided methods.

    How to create the installation media for a PC refresh or reset:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    You can also try the same steps using the bootable USB key. You must select USB as the first boot to the BIOS device.

    Note: Microsoft don't recommend any third-party partition manager program because it corrupts the registry files and cause the instability of the system.

  • Problem with livemail, upgrade Windows 7 to 10 and back again

    Separated from this thread.

    Hello

    Having problem with livemail, improved Windiws 7 to 10 and then uninstalled immediately revert to the original with option to the program (things not working not properly).   All rolled back does OK no message or data errors.

    Now all the direct mail has duplicated, will remove some, but others won't.

    Can you post help or solution, please

    John

    It seems that many of those who go back to Windows 7 from Windows 10 experience a corruption of the store folder (the folder where messages, calendars and the account settings are stored). According to your storage folder is how complex (several accounts, calendars a lot, a lot of messages number of files), it can be simpler to just create a new storage folder and fills again:

    1. Looking at your list of messages in Windows Live Mail, press Ctrl-Shift-O for Options. On the Advanced tab, click Maintenance and then store the file. Copy the path to locate the storage folder.
    2. Close Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes (the program will continue to run in the background, while he does his household).
    3. Press the Windows key + E to open an Explorer window, and then paste or type the path that you copied to the (1) in the address bar and press ENTER. This should open your storage folder.
    4. Right-click on the name of the folder in the navigation pane, and select Rename. Call the Live Mail Backup.
    5. A repair must check that all the program files are present and correct and properly registered, as appropriate. To do this, close all running programs, and then press Windows key + R, type wlarp and press ENTER. In the window that opens, select repair all Windows Essentials programs:


      When it is finished, restart the computer.

    6. Start Windows Live Mail and wait the program installs before doing anything. Press Ctrl-Shift-T to start the add your Assistant e-mail accounts and follow the prompts to add your e-mail accounts.
    7. Click once on the work online on the status bar and deconnecter disconnect Internet to avoid interference email downloads, and then use the file > import messages (I Alt - F) and point the wizard to the Live Mail Backup folder level. Do not intervene while the import happens.
    8. Leave the program alone for a while (an hour or two, or even a night or more) to enable him to reindex all your messages, then close and wait half an hour for the program to do his household.
    9. Relaunch the program and look at your messages under folder imported into storage folders. Take it slow, drag files out of any folder and drop in the location you want. Again, give the program time to re - indexing messages in their new location.

    Note that you can not drag files out of storage files. If you want to forward messages to a high plu account folder in the folders pane, you need to select messages to transfer, and then use the right click > move or copy folder. The controls are also available as buttons in the folders of the Ribbon tab.

  • Windows OS 8.1 transfer between HDD and SSD on laptop (built-in two disks)

    Hi, I have an Alienware Laptop, 14, I wanted to transfer/copy/move my current OS (Windows 8.1) of my HDD (1 TB) to my (7.3 GB) SSD. I tried many methods I've seen online in other forums, I restored my computer whenever I between methods, when they fail. Yet, I need to find an effective way to do... I tried the following:

    -Start switched from AHCI RAID
    -Transformed into legacy prioritize boot from a USB device and tried to run AlienRespawn and Windows OS 8.1 (drawn from Microsofts website), twice, on two USB keys separate (both about 15 GB of storage).

    The result of AlienRespawn was simply did a cover of my HARD disk drive and my OS remained where he was, nothing has changed with my SSD. That being said, there is no selection in my START menu to choose which drive I want to start, for that, I guess I have to unplug my HARD drive so that it my laptop self chooses to run by using the SSD.

    The result of the execution of the USB with the operating system of Microsoft 8.1 is it says some sort of error, I googled the error online, he says to reformat the USB key and drop the operating system on it, and then try again. I did that twice, and both times found the same result (same error).

    I also tried to clone my HARD drive of my SSD using EaseUS, who put my documents and files on my SSD, but my BONE was still running on the HARD drive.

    I cloned partitions with Partition Master, with negative results, as well as using Tuxboot and Clonezilla combo to start my laptop using Clonezilla, but at the start he just asked me to remove all USB devices that did not have an operating system on them (I had a USB in)

    I also tried a few different USB sticks (I went out and bought three to try).

    The more recent method, I tried with the help of DiskPart. I executed what she says on many forums/sites, which involved cleaning/selection/activation disk 0 or no matter which drive my SSD was on. But once again, no result no positive.

    I'm desperate, I want to just run my OS on my SSD laptops, is it really so hard, or I'm just using the wrong methods and/or measures hurt?

    If anyone can help with a step by step guide that worked for them, please enlighten me!

    Thank you very much.

    I did a lot of research ahead, and this program kept coming as the way the simpler, cleaner to move the operating system, according to the people about these and other bodies.
