   For some of the more complex Windows upgrades, what I've done is make an ISO    
   image of the   
   original Windows install then do a fresh install of the updated hard drive.     
   Using a nice   
   little tool from Microsoft called "Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel", available at    
   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38780, I've then    
   mounted the ISO,   
   going in and cherry-picking what I want out of the ISO.   
      
   I guess I should say that I create the ISO on an external USB hard drive.   
      
   'Course, under Linux, no extra tools are needed.   
      
   But, if you would like to make your current Windows installation into a VMware    
   virtual   
   machine, check out their tool at:   
      
   https://www.vmware.com/products/converter/   
      
   It's not too hard but if you've not done it before, it can be time-consuming.
