How to convert a VHDX file to VHD?

I made an image with disk2vhd and unfortunately I chose VHDX instead of VHD. I didn’t see any information about what to choose.

Anyway, now that file is all I have, the original PC is trashed. So I need to know how to run it as a Virtual Machine in Windows 7.

VirtualBox doesn’t have an option to open VHDX and WM Converter doesn’t have an option to open VHDX (or to convert to VHD).

Answer

You can do that conversion with VirtualBox :

VBoxManage.exe clonemedium "input_file.vhdx" "output_file.vhd" --format VHD

Default Path to VBoxManage.exe

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\
