##### Make a Snapshot of your existing HA implementation #####
- In the Home Assistant dashboard, navigate Supervisor -> Snapshots. Give the resulting .tar file a name, make sure "Full Snapshot" is checked, and then click "Create".
- Download the resulting snapshot .tar by clicking on it and selecting "Download"

##### Download your preferred virtual appliance containing HassOS #####
- From here (under the "As a virtual appliance" section): https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/

##### Deploy the VM #####
- How you deploy the VM depends on what hypervisor you're using, so I'm not going to cover that here.
- Whatever hypervisor you use, make sure the VM automatically starts when your host OS starts
