You can create virtual machines, import virtual machines created elsewhere, and migrate virtual machines converted from physical PCs. If you have Fusion Pro, you can also clone existing virtual machines.

|
How you create a virtual machine depends on its guest operating system. Virtual machines created using Fusion 6 and later are created with SATA virtual disks or CD drives. |
■
|
When you upload a virtual machine to a remote server, Fusion Pro copies the virtual machine to the remote host and datastore that you select. The original virtual machine remains on the host system. |
■
|
Your users can download a virtual machine from a remote server. |
■
|
You can migrate your existing Windows PC onto your Mac. Fusion recreates your PC as a virtual machine, and you can continue to use your PC applications and files. |
■
|
You can import into Fusion virtual machines that you created with Parallels Desktop, as well as virtual machines using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). |
■
|
You can export a virtual machine from Fusion Pro to Open Virtualization Format (OVF). You can export both .ovf and .ova files. |
■
|
VMware Tools is a suite of utilities that enhances the performance of the virtual machine's guest operating system and improves management of the virtual machine. |

Installing a guest operating system and applications can be time consuming. With Fusion Pro, you can make many copies of a virtual machine from a single installation and configuration process. |
