How do I migrate programs, data, etc from an XP VM to a Win10 VM on the same iMac?

Hi from a first timer on here

 

I've been running Win XP in a VM on my iMac since VMWare Fusion v2, and have trodden the well-worn upgrade path, and now am on v8.1

 

A couple of my programs/apps on WinXP have notified that they are no longer supporting XP (including Dropbox), so I've set up another VM on the same iMac with Win 10, fully updated, and working perfectly.

 

My question: rather than installing all the programs from my XP Virtual Machine from scratch again on the Win 10 VM, is there a way I can migrate programs and data across from my Win XP VM over to my Win 10 VM?

 

Can this be done directly, or do I have to export everything from XP first then import it into Win 10?

 

I should mention that I want to keep the Win XP VM, as there are still a couple of things on there that I need that won't run on Win 10.

 

So, I want to keep both VMs (XP and Win 10) but migrate programs and data from XP to Win 10 so that they are on both.  Then I can selectively uninstall the ones that I don't need on XP.

 

Hope that makes sense.  Any help much appreciated
