Thought it might be useful to post the resolution. First stage in leaving Apple Mac and going back to Windows After an 18 month love/hate relationship with my Macbook Pro, I have decided its time to say goodbye to Apple and go. I did recall somewhere/how that my device used EFI. The setting required (after trying many!) was to go into the VM's settings > System > Motherboard > Ticked the "Enable EFI (special OSes only)" option. When I downloaded VM vCenter Converter Standalone it no longer supports other Virtual Machine systems. The next challenge I had was an error on powering on the VM: Convert Parallels Desktop virtual machine to Vmware Workstation. I actually also applied the optional step to copy / convert this to a VirtualBox-native VDI format, as I expect it will help over the years of this VM running. At this point, VirtualBox was able to import the image to the Media Manager. I manually copied this to another directory, then renamed it as.
I retried this following the steps from Kalpesh Popat, stating that with newer versions of the software, you can use the "Right Click > Show Package Contents" options to see the. Convert DMG to ISODmg file is the disc image file which is widely used by Mac. With AnyToISO program you can convert DMG to ISO and mount the resulting ISO image to your virtual machine (running Mac.

However, I found another thread detailing the migration process: DMG is Mac OS X native disk image format while virtual machines (VmWare, Parallels or VirtualBox) are able to mount ISO images only.
#Convert parallels to virtualbox image software#
Some threads I found suggested the "Parallels Image Tool", but it seems it no longer exists as well as the Parallels Toolbox software also requiring the license key, which I didnt have as mine has expired - the main reason for migrating. I wasn't able to find anywhere that would detail the "version" of the HDD file I had, but running a version of Parallels from 2019 or 2020, I had to assume it was using a later version. Thanks disk management seems a mysterious art, even in 2021!
