I didn't receive the screenshot, but I suspect there is a specific
VMware driver for the keyboard that is not being loaded. Did it
install VMware Tools as part of the conversion?
I vaguely remember this being an issue at one point, if I had multiple
keyboard profiles installed on the host:

Thanks for the rebound, Clayton. The screen shot I should capture is
from Device Manager that shows the PS/2 Keyboard with a yellow
triangle
and an exclamation point. I am aware of the capture key sequence and
probably need to try that again just to make sure.
Detail I may have missed at the start of this tale - the Windows 10
instance is a physical to virtual conversion by way of VMWare
Converter
(just downloaded from VMWare). Converter ran on the local machine
to an
attached USB drive for transfer. I suspect there is a "hold your
tongue
right" aspect to the P2V of which I am unaware.
