I suggest you try the 'clonezilla' way!

Hi BiagioParuolo,

in what vmdk-format are the disks?

With single grow able disk you can use use qemu-img:
qemu-img convert -f vmdk image.vmdk -O <format> outfile

Flat images can easily be renamed to raw:
mv image-flat.vmdk image.raw

If there are other formats you can use vmware-vdiskmanager to convert your images.

They are not grow disks.

If you import to Proxmox VE as KVM guest, yes. Containers are different.

I wish to import into KVM. More of them are Windows Vms.

For my experience, I use a node with only containers or kvm machines.
