Can't convert VMWARE (Win 10 TP 100071) into PD VM

I'd like to ditch VMWare but can't do the conversion. The conversion goes to about 99% and dies with an error. A support file is created and sent to PD, but I don't have access to it (just don't know where it was saved). I'd really like to convert this VM so I can start using PD full time. Thx!

Hello,
-- Please open Windows 10 TP on VMware > un install VMware Tools.
-- Shut down Windows Vm and Try to convert the virtual machine using the Terminal commands:
1. Start the Terminal on your Mac (Finder -> Applications -> Utilities)
2. Execute the following command and hit Return:
/Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_convert /<path to .vhd> --no-src-check --no-reconfig
3. Please note that instead of <path to .vhd>, you need to write down the actual path to your virtual machine .vhd file.
Example:
/Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_convert /Volumes/500gb\ 1/WIN-8.VHD --no-src-check --no-reconfig
4. Please note you can drag and drop your virtual machine's .vhd file to the Terminal instead of typing the file path manually and check if the issue still persisting.
