multiboot conversion

$

Hello people!  I need help here and I'm getting some info before I can proceed with my intention.

 

My goal is converting the current Windows XP OS into a VM. I've already read that it's possible converting a real OS into a VM, but I have some doubts here...

This computer has a multiboot menu loaded by Windows 10 bootloader. Then, I have the following OSes and partitions:

 

C:/   ==> Windows XP system      ==> HDD 1

D:/   ==> User data                        ==> HDD 2

E:/   ==> Windows 7 system         ==> HDD 2

G:/   ==> Windows 10 system       ==> HDD 1

Z:/    ==> Swap partition                ==> HDD 2

 

So, the questions are: if I convert only the XP system can VMWare boot it if the system is currently in a multiboot mode? Or will the OS loading crash?

What recommendations do you guys give in this case?

 

Thanks in advance.
