Cannot convert VMware Fusion VM to Parallels - because the VMware VM is still running

[TimothyS6]

I am unable to convert a VMware fusion Windows 10 virtual machine to Parallels 14. I've tried the steps that are suggested in earlier threads on this topic - uninstalled VMware tools, shut down the VM several times, etc., but still get a message saying that it can't be converted because the VMware VM is still running.

Hi @TimothyS6, please add "Force" word and it should work. Did you try this command?
/Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_convert OS_X\_10_10.vmwarevm/Virtual\ Disk.vmdk --force --no-src-check --no-reconfig --allow-no-os
