I still use Win7 and wanna move to Win10. But it's gonna take days to install and configure all apps I need. It's a troubling process as I'd become limited on using my PC while I do whole installation and backup.



I'm thinking then on doing it on a VMware VM. Then when all installation is finished I'd backup its partition and restore it on my PC.



My question is if if'd work. How would Windows behave upon being moved from a VM to a hardware PC. Would VM's drivers be a burden or just rest still and not cause any trouble. Would Win10 work as if it was installed there to begin with or would it be crippled and should I forget the idea?
