If you are on Windows 10, you can enable Hyper-V and use that (I think qemu might be better on Linux) I am not sure though

I don't like Windows 10/11. I like (best to 4th best): 7, 8.1, Vista, and XP.
Cars I like: Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Aura, Tata Tiago, Suzuki Dzire, and Suzuki Ciaz
New Zealand should win the T20 wc this year! (sad after 2019...)

I think you can convert it to VHD, after to VMDK and use that VMDK in VMware.

Windows 10X disk images are not portable between different hardware. So the answer to your question is a big no.
AlphaBeta, stop brainwashing me immediately!

But you can flash the VHDX to an SSD, and then dump it as a VMDK?

You created a Hyper-V VM in VMWare. ActivateYourTech meant to enable Hyper-V in the optional features dialog. This only works if you have Windows 11 Pro/Enterprise or higher.

Hyper-V is supported on Windows 11 Pro. Probably best to use that since Windows 10X images are not able to be moved from one computer to another (this has already been pointed out)

Then try creating the VM in VMWare after converting the vhdx to vmdk. Maybe it will work?

BTW: I'm using vmware version 16.2 so instead of windows 10x64 it shows Windows10x64 and later

I use starwind converter to convert the vhdx to vmdk
