    HELP! (if possible I need an answer today)

    I set up a new mac for "john smith" and made a WinXP VM... all was good.

    Except then the user migrated his old Mac to new Mac and as a result all his stuff is under a different users "johnsmith" (no space). AND he can't see the VM I made for him before.

    Rather than have to re-do his VM from scratch, a lot of work and potentially some licensing snags... I'd rather just make the VM accessible to "johnsmith".

    Can I simply do a Finder copy/move the VM to "johnsmith" folders?

    Or do I need to use the Clone function?

    And are there any downsides of doing this type of move?

    Is there an easier/better way I should be approaching this?

    Thanks in advance!
