Paragon Go Virtual - Create virtual clone of a physical PC

Paragon Go Virtual is a brand new software from the popular Paragon Software Group, that lets users migrate a physical computer into a virtual environment. The software allows the user to convert a physical system running a Windows operating system later than Windows 2000, with all application, settings and user files intact, into a virtual system.


The virtual machine created can then by loaded into any of the supported virtualization software - Microsoft Virtual PC, VMware Workstation/Fusion/Player and Oracle VirtualBox.




Paragon Go Virtual also lets you adjust settings of a virtual system that fails to boot because of unsuccessful virtualization using other tools, like the built in virtual disk creation utility of Widows Vista/7.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 includes a built-in disaster recovery tool, which enables users to create backup images of Windows OS in a .vhd (Virtual Hard Disk) format, used by Microsoft Virtual PC/Server/Hyper-V, and Oracle VirtualBox. Unfortunately you cannot just take this type of backup to run Windows OS in a virtual environment – it won’t start up. Paragon Go Virtual can help rectify this problem.

Using the “P2V Adjust OS” wizard, you can patch Windows OS inside a .vhd backup image according to the specified virtualization vendor to let you start up and work with your Windows on virtual hardware.

• Migration without rebooting Windows - Hot processing of locked (in-use) hard disks lets you migrate a computer without rebooting and interrupting Windows.

• P2V Adjust OS to recover the startup ability after unsuccessful virtualization with a 3rd party tool and to make Windows Vista/7 backups bootable on virtual hardware. 

• Smart Driver Injector - Makes the process of adding new drivers smooth and easy. 

• Selection of virtual hardware – Go Virtual offers the user a selection of virtual hardware types.
