Can Workstation 17 Pro (Personal use no license) convert my physical Win10 machine to VM?

[HForren]

The subject implies it all:

• I have Workstation 17 Pro installed, and I'm using it for personal use, so I didn't have to buy a license.
• My old Windows 10 computer is physically dying, so I'd like to make a VM of it before it goes totally. 
• I have a lot of old software on it that I might need to run, and some of that software is no longer available for purchase or install.  Recreating all of that for a small need probability is too much work.  I've done this long ago with other old machines, but I can't figure out how to do it now.
• Note that my research mostly points toward File -> Virtualize a Physical Machine.  But that option doesn't appear at all under the File menu of VMware Workstation 17 Pro.  Meanwhile, VM -> Install VMware Tools... is grayed out.  I tried "Command Prompt for vctl" and then ran vctl, but it requires Windows 10 version 1809 or above, while my System Info doesn't have a comparable number but instead just 10.0.17134 (Windows 10 Pro).

So is there a way for me to accomplish this without buying a license?  If not, and I do buy a license, would it then be possible?

I read about VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, but don't yet know how to get it or if it's free for personal use.

Thanks very much.

OK, I solved this myself.  Indeed, I was able to download VMware vCenter Converter Standalone per this post:

https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/discussion/vmware-vcenter-converter-standalone-download  (Second post was from Vaibhav Zade and included a link.)

I was then able to make a VM from that same machine on which it was running.  I did so "hot".  That VM now works on my new computer, actually better than it was working on the original old hardware!

softpedia dot com has a download for it. Year is 2019. I would try that. Cannot post a direct link here, probably. It is Freeware.
