The new file will be roughly the same size as the original VHDK, so you’ll want to ensure that you have enough space on your Mac to accommodate it. QEMU will begin converting the VHDK container to VMDK, creating a separate file. Once you do, you may see a pop-up stating that “VMware Fusion Tech Preview” would like to access files in your Desktop folder. The final command should look similar to the following: qemu-img convert -O vmdk /Users/jeff/Downloads/Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_22598.VHDX ~/Desktop/Windows11.vmdk The result should look similar to the following, but obviously your user name will most likely be different: qemu-img convert -O vmdk /Users/jeff/Downloads/Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_22598.VHDXĮnsure that a single space is inserted after VHDX, and type/paste the following: ~/Desktop/Windows11.vmdk Open Terminal and type/paste the following ( make sure ‘vmdk’ is in lower case): qemu-img convert -O vmdkĮnsure that a single space is inserted after vmdk, and drag the Windows 11 VHDX container from the Downloads folder into the Terminal. Now we’ll use QEMU to convert the Windows 11 VHDX container to a VMDK container. The QEMU installation may take a while depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

Step 3: Enter the following commands to add Homebrew to your PATH: echo 'eval '$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)'' > /Users/jeff/.zprofileĮval '$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' Install QEMU using Homebrew Once you do, press Return on your keyboard. You will also be prompted to enter your administrator password. Whenever prompted, press Return on your keyboard. Step 2: Paste the following command in Terminal and press Return on your keyboard: /bin/bash -c '$(curl -fsSL )' If you’ve already installed Homebrew on your Mac, you can skip this step. Thus, the next step is to install Homebrew on your Mac, which will then allow you to easily install QEMU. The good news is that converting a VHDX to VMDK can be done easily (and for free) using QEMU. VMware Fusion cannot natively read VHDX files so it will need to be converted to a Virtual Machine Disk, or VMDK.

VHDX is a disk image format that’s capable of storing the contents of a hard disk drive. The VHDX extension stands for Virtual Hard Disk v2. Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64.VHDX.
