    Hi, this article shows how to move the bootcamp partition from old machine to a new one via an external drive.

    https://kb.parallels.com/113658

    I have done the steps to import Windows 7 Bootcamp to an external drive. However, I want this to be a Virtual Machine of the new Mac because I already installed Windows 10 as a Bootcamp partition in the new Mac. Can you please show me steps on how to do it?
     
  2. Hi, do you want to move your VM from external drive to Mac? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
