Something at the Hardware Abstract Level there is enough differences between

No, you should not need to install from scratch.
The first thing to do is to enable ACPI in the BIOS of the VM in
VPC-Mac. It is enabled by default on VPC-Win and disabled in VPC-Mac.
This should allow the VM to boot. The rest of the emulated hardware is
very close...other than the CPU which is emulated in the Mac version
and virtualized in the Windows version.
