Is there a way to import a VM created using VirtualBox to Gnome-Boxes?

I have been trying Gnome-Boxes, and it has been great so far especially with Wayland (in comparison to VirtualBox).

But I have a Windows 10 VirtualMachine that was created using VirtualBox (as a vhd) that I want to import to Gnome-Boxes.

I want to avoid reinstalling windows in Gnome-boxes as much as possible.

Hi! If you don’t have super complicated configuration in your VirtualBox, you should be ok with just manually converting the disk file to proper format and mounting it to new machine created in GNOME Boxes. GNOME Boxes are just an interface to the qemu:// libvirt. Depends on how experienced with a CLI you are.
