The database schema are the same.

My recollection is the basic procedure is:
 - install weewx in your VM
 - copy your wview database into place, renaming it to weewx.sdb as weewx 
expects
 - start weewx
And always always always work off a 'copy' of your old database just in 
case.

If you want to get your feet wet a little, run your weewx VM in simulator 
mode.

I do have one question though - how are you going to get your VM access to 
the serial or usb port your station is connected to ?  That's not really a 
weewx question, but if the VM can't talk to the hardware (regardless of 
which weather software you run), that's a showstopper....
