I have Windows7.wmdk (created with vmware converter - it runs fine on Player) with an EFI boot partition.
How can I migrate this VM to PVE?
Do these instructions apply to my specific case?

Recently I had a sort of improvement in my achievings: the forsaid VM starts on EFI and Win7 boots; I can see the animated windows7 spash screen but when reaching the desktop startup I get a black screen while the VM seems to be running normally. I believe it's due to a display driver problem.
Does anyone know how to diagnose and fix such an issue?
