All you really need is the VMDK. You can rebuild the the VMX.

In vSphere I would just recreate the VMX and attach the existing VMDK. I'm not familiar with VMWPlayer but run ESXi and it wouldn't be difficult to save in ESXi.

You can also open the vmx in notepad and edit it manually.

holy shite. I came here to give a very dumbed down version of your answer regarding if he had a way to pull it into ESXi, but what do you do for a living?

I ask because I'm a Server Engineer, Virtualization SME

Ahh thanks. Just to give clarification this is my home PC that I had been running Workstation on. Both of those arre windows applications and are not hypervisorr's.

What would be the process to switching over to ESXi? Currently I am running Windows 10 with Player as the way to run the VMDK within Windows.
