There may be other issues I'm sorting out with a Repair install.Īnyway, although unsupported it seems possible. Most Desktop Icons are missing, and somehow the permissions on the C:\Users\Public folder are messed up. There are still a couple of strange issues though. The very interesting aspect is that the OS is OEM (the Product key has OEM in it).
I can boot the VM and my programs are working. This actually seems to mostly have worked. Run the BCDBoot utility to insure the boot loader is configured correctly. Run the Acronis Universal Restore media on the restored image.Ħ. Restore the disk image to the new VM disk using the Acronis Recovery media.ĥ. Create a new disk image for the VM and initialize it as a MBR BIOS/Legacy disk (not a GPT disk.)Ĥ. Create a Acronis Universal Restore media from another Win 7 VM (same version) and add the Virtualbox drivers into the restore media.ģ. Create a image backup of the physical machine with Acronis.Ģ. I've had some success in accomplishing this. But there's not much info on doing this because few want to do this. Yes, that's pretty much what I've been trying.

New Host computer: Asus H670-Pro Motherboard, 32 GB Ram, 512 GB M.2 SSD, Plus other SSDs and disks. Old computer: Asus Z170 Pro Motherboard, 16 GB Ram, 256 GB M.2 SSD. Is there a workaround so I can boot the Win 7 VM? Is there a way to change the boot mode to BIOS, either on the original computer or VM, so that it boots without the "Enable UEFI" set? So, at this point I would appreciate any suggestions to get past this. The install media does not hang when the VM is set to BIOS mode. I'm pretty sure it is the UEFI boot process is involved because the same hang occurred with I booted from a Windows 7 Pro Install media. When I attempt to boot to Safe Mode, it also hangs after all the drives are loaded. I was able to restore the Windows 7 image to the VM, and set the UEFI boot mode but when I try to boot it, the boot up hangs. On the Virtualbox I can configure the VM to boot using UEFI, but VB says that it is for "special OSs" and not recommended for Windows 7. On the hardware computer, the Win 7 OS is booting using the UEFI bootloader. The issue I am struggling with at the moment is this: I am using Acronis 2019 Universal Restore in an attempt to restore an image backup of the Win 7 to the VM. I want to transfer that installation to a VirtualBox Virtual Machine. I have an older computer with Windows 7 installed.
