I am upgrading my home PC. On my current PC, all my VirtualBox VMs reside on a data drive separate from the primary OS drive. The current PC uses Windows 10 and the new PC will also be using Windows 10.

I have about 30 VirtualBox VMs on that data drive. My question is if I can do the transition using the method listed below.

  • Move data drive to the new PC
  • Assign the data drive with the same drive name (e.g. D:)
  • Install the same version of VirtualBox I have right now onto the new computer
  • Move my .VirtualBox directory from C:\Users\foo\.VirtualBox to my new PC

Install the VM;s data drive in new pc. [ or even copy the VM folders to a new drive, keeping the old as a back up] Then install Virtualbox as normal on the new pc.then under "preferences" select "Default Machine Folder" and point to the new drive where the VM;s are. then select "Machine Add" Ctrl+A. select the VM;s one at a time. To import. Have done it many times
