I recently installed Ubuntu 24.10 on my Workstation and was running Windows 11 Pro as a guest in VMWare Pro Workstation

I have a dual screen setup and on one screen Windows 11 would become non-responsive and require me to lock and re-login to the Ubuntu host to again be interactive with the Windows 11 VM

I had also enabled full-disk encryption in Ubuntu and I don't know if the extra overhead made the Windows 11 VM slower or not.

Boiling it all down I just found that running the Ubuntu Host Windows Guest combination wasn't as good a daily driver as i'd hoped.

So to move to Windows Physical I had Veeam Agent doing a full backup of the VM

So all I had to do was to boot the Veeam recovery ISO, point it to my NAS share, map the volumes in the backup to the physical drive (increasing C: to take up the full size of the SSD) and then perform a restore to the physical hardware and it all just booted and work.

So the answer to the question "Can I move a VM to Physical using Veeam Agent for Windows (free edition)" is Yes
