It might ask you if you Moved, Copied or Don't know when you start up the VM's on the new machine the first time. Just click on copied.

Thanks.

I thought it could be done, just wasn't sure.

VMWare Player migration?

I've have quite a large number of VM's running on VMWare Player but I'm planning on getting a new PC soon as this thing is 7 years old and struggling! I know things would be much sweeter on a nice i5 or i7 quad core machine.

Is it possible to migrate VMware Player with the VM's or am I going to have to reinstall everything?
