Yes you can convert over we have many clients who have migrated from VB to IP.Board

The conversion page is here , you can type in VB 3.8 and see the conversion listing of what is / is not carried over.

I'll attach a screenshot to save you a bit of time too:

As you can see, there is very little that is not converted over.

A question,
Do I need IPB 3.3.4 system files or its included inside this converter?and I'll just have to install a skin if I want

Hello,

You will need to purchase IP.Board to get access to the IP.Board files. The converter is an "application" (much like Nexus, or Gallery, etc.) that you install within IP.Board once you have purchased it.

IPB is better than vB IMHO.
