VMware should have an export function so you can move the images.  It is independent of OS.  Build a fedora machine (or dual boot) with VMware and check for function.  The last is for your learning curve with Fedora/VMware.  Honestly, I used to just copy the files but mine was Linux to Linux on various distros.  Like wise I used to build client VM and take them to their system on my thumbdrive.  Moving should be fairly straight forward.  I use Vbox now so don't have VMware up to see the menu option, sorry, but the option to export should still be there.

Hello,

I'm using Windows with several virtual machines (VMware);

is there a way to use these virtual machines with Fedora as host OS?
Yes. There is a free-to-use version of VMware Workstation for Fedora.
Check the VMware web page. You can also convert your VMware VMs to run
under KVM/QEMU ('man qemu-img'). Another alternative is VirtualBox.

Hello,

does this mean,
I can have VMware Workstation for Fedora without having to pay for it?

I guess the conversion of these VMware VMs won't work, as they are Windows VMs ...

Greetings,
Walter

Walter, I currently use Fedora as my main OS but I do need a little Windows from time to time. KVM/QEMU run Win10 almost better than dedicated hardware did!

Virtualbox also runs on Linux and does a bang up job at hosting Windows, is there something holding you to VMware or is it a comfortability thing?
