Unfortunately (or not) my PC workstation crashed irreparable for motherboard. Boot SSD with Windows 7 remains OK.

Is there any way to migrate Windows 7 at ext SSD to Parallels?

I tried with Transporter but there is no option to migrate from External HDD.
I don't want to migrate Windows from PC which hosts Boot SSD from exWorkstation.

Thank you!

Not easily, no.

In the past I've created a Windows VM and then attached the external hard drive as a second hard drive to the Windows VM. Then I use backup or cloning software to clone the HD to a third hard drive (the third one being a virtual hard drive created in Parallels which is the same size as the external hard drive). Then I create a second VM with the third hard drive as it's only drive and as its boot drive. Boot the new VM and hope for the best.
