Background
I run VMware Workstation to run the following for my dev needs
Win 10 x64 Pro + VS Community 2015 Update 3 + SQL Server 2016 Express
My base machine is clean.
Need / Desire
Win 10 x64 Pro + VS Community 2015 Update 3 + SQL Server 2016 Express => some iso
Explanation
My friends needs the above dev configuration on his physical machine. He needs to wipe clean his Win 8.1 machine for this.
I'm wondering if I get convert my vmdk or vmx or vm* to a bootable iso which I can then load on to my usb via rufus so that when I clean install that iso I get presto ... Win 10 x64 Pro + VS Community 2015 Update 3 + SQL Server 2016 Express on the physical machine.
Research
Scouring some people suggested poweriso to convert to vmdk to iso but it did not help.
I found this but it is for linux.
Anyone has any other leads or detailed directions?
Self Suggestion
Can I download a vhd from azure marketplace with this or similar configuration?
