VMDK IS VMWare VHD is the legacy Microsoft virtual disk file format. You want to covert to VHDX not VHD — Ramhound, Jul 27 '17 at 12:43

You want to look into a tool called qemu-img. It's sole purpose is converting between virtual hard disk image formats. It's command-line only, but it is reasonably fast, and very memory efficient. Documentation can be found here.
