Assuming you were using qemu under libvirt on F25 and still have the F25
disk, you can mount that disk and look in its "/etc/libvirt/qemu"
directory. The configuration for the guest machine will be in one of
those xml files. For my old Win7 platform, it's in the
"/etc/libvirt/qemu/Win7.xml" file.
Copy that to the new F25's spot and also examine the xml file for the
name of the Win7 virtual disk. In my case:
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/Win7.img'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
...
So the virtual drive is the "/var/lib/libvirt/images/Win7.img" file
and it's in "raw" format (as opposed to "qcow2" or some other format).
Copy that file from the F25 disk to the same spot on the new F25 disk
and you should be good to go.
