Create a New VM From a Snapshot

May 25, 2023

Contributed by:

You create a VM from a snapshot in the same way as you create a VM from a regular VM template, by using the New VM wizard.

To create a VM from a snapshot

On the Snapshots tab, select the snapshot you want to use, then right-click and select New VM from Snapshot on the shortcut menu.

The New VM wizard opens, with your snapshot pre-selected on the Templates page.
Follow the steps in the New VM wizard to create the VM. For more information, see Creating a new VM.

To create a VM from an orphan snapshot

If the original VM used to create the snapshot has been deleted, you can select the snapshot and start the New VM wizard as follows:

In the Resources pane, switch to Folder View.
Select to expand the Types group and then expand the Snapshots group.
Select the snapshot, then right-click and select New VM from Snapshot on the shortcut menu.
