I imagine you would first convert the Boot Camp to a VM on the mini, and then transferred to your new Mac and imported into VM there. During the import VMware will recognize that the virtual machine is from a different Computer and you will be asked if you wish to move or to copy the VM. I think it is important that you select "move" in order to preserve your licenses for the Microsoft Windows OS and any other licensed software. If you select "copy" you will lose your licensing and will have to pay for new licenses. My memory is a little fuzzy about that point, but I remember that the whole "move/copy" question is very important and relates to whether or not licenses are preserved. Sent from my IPhone
