StarWind V2V Converter: Now with Physical to Virtual (P2V) conversion option!
-
Now this will be useful for a few home lab projects.
Get the cousin to learn how to virtualize a system, import it and get it all going.
Good work.

Nice - I might use this to migrate from XS to Hyper-V

Only for Windows...
Supported Operating Systems are: desktop versions starting from Windows Vista to Windows 10 and all server versions starting from Windows Server 2008R2 to Windows Server 2016
About to do a P2V for a company, but this won't help because nothing they run is this new.

Oh man - sorry to hear that. I had to migrate a Windows 2003 server - talk about a PITA! In the end I ended up running scandisk something like 13 times before it cleaned up the newly made vHD to function.

We've got XP and even 2000 in the mix!!
And one running on a Pentium 2!!

Disk2VHD can help with that old operating systems.

So I know I'm barking up the correct tree, why can't you just remove these ancient OS's from the mix?

I'm not there yet - but I do have an EHR system that doesn't work on Windows 10. I have to keep the medical records for at least 10 years (and for children until they turn 23). We stopped using this EHR in 2013, which means I have to maintain it until at least 2023, and really could be until 2036 if we saw a newborn in the last year we had that system.
In late 2019 I'll be setting up a small network completely isolated just for access to this old system. Today I have a small amount of Win7 machines scattered around our practice, but soon enough it will be just one (yeah I could VLAN it, but meh, I'd really rather not).

No way to extract the data?

We plan to. We are retiring most of the workloads. Clearly they've never been deemed production ready, why keep them?
-
Active Directory is one of the workloads we are removing. AD for SIX people!

Of course there - for a fee. Ultimately we will end up likely extracting the children's data so we don't have to maintain it beyond 2013.

You don't have access to your own data without paying for it?

They do, they don't have a way to easily extract the data from this system in a reasonably usable format without paying a fee.

How do they have access and can't extract data. Access = ability to extract.

What format can it be in that is not usable? The data is in a database. You extra it as it is. While someone could be obfuscating the data, that's not realistic.
