Yes, VMWare Fusion does have a migration tool to migrate from a windows
computer. My test lab staff did the migration for me from my HP laptop. I did
have to uninstall some drivers on the VM using a remote terminal session before
control-alt-delete would work. Also, if the your windows software is
manufacturer installed, it is probably against the license agreement to
transfer to a different machine.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
