The present application provides exemplary methods, mediums, and systems for converting a virtual machine from management by one type of hypervisor to management by a second, different type of hypervisor. The exemplary method involves: (1) discovering information about the source VM; (2) making a backup copy of the source VM data (3) storing the information in the source VM; (4) copying the source VM data using cloning; (5) starting the destination VM with the cloned data by attaching the copied disks to the destination VM; (6) restoring the source VM to its original state; and (7) starting the destination VM and applying the saved system configuration to a destination guest OS. In some embodiments, the first type of hypervisor (the source hypervisor) may be a Hyper-V hypervisor, and the second type to hypervisor (the destination hypervisor) may be a VMware hypervisor.
