Convert a VMDK to QCOW2 for Qemu
Download and install qemu-img for windows https://www.qemu.org/download/#windows
Open an administrative CMD prompt
Navigate to the qemu installation folder
Convert the file using the following config;
qemu-img convert -O <qcow2> <test.vmdk> <test.qcow2>
In my example below;
C:\Program Files\qemu>qemu-img.exe convert -O qcow2 FMC.vmdk FMC2.qcow2
It takes a few minutes depending on system resources and image size etc
