    Putting old hard disk in new pc

    Hi.
    I have an old windows 7 hard disk from a pc that blew up. I don't have that pc anymore and I want to put the hard disks in a new pc. This gives me a startup repair which fails.
    Is there anything from Paragon to enable me to boot from the hard disks?
    Don't know if this will allow me to use disk2vhd or similar to create a vhd(x) to virtualise into Virtual Box or HyperV

    Apologies if this is a dumb newbie question
    Regards
    GJ

    Hello and welcome to the forums!
    You can create a Backup of this Disk in VHD/VHDX or VMDK format (depending on the hypervisor you'd like to use), then create new Virtual Machine and choose the created Backup Files when configuring Hard Disk.
