Convert GXW to QGS

Can you convert GXW to QGS?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert GXW to QGS?
No - not a direct conversion.

QGIS project files (.qgs/.qgz) have a different layer model and reference a different data structure. There is no direct converter; you must rebuild the layer configuration manually in QGIS referencing the same geodata.
