What is BAT file?
The BAT file extension is often associated with the Windows operating system and the Command Prompt. It stands for Batch File (Executable). A BAT file is basically a text-based script that is used to execute multiple commands at once. It can contain any commands that can be entered at the Command Prompt, such as directory changes, environment variable changes, program launches, and even multiple commands strung together in sequences.

What is VBS file?
VBS (VBScript File) is a file extension used by Visual Basic Scripting Edition to store Visual Basic source code. It is used to create applications, scripts and components for Windows-based programs. VBS files are based on the Microsoft Visual Basic language and they typically contain functions and procedures that can be referenced by other scripts or programs. VBS files can be written with an advanced text editor, saved and then executed through the Windows Script Host (WSH). [ ⏩ ] VBS file extension
How to convert the file from BAT to VBS?
To successfully convert the BAT file to VBS, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.BAT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VBS (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than VBS).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. BAT to VBS. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting BAT files to VBS files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VBS, while before this step we had the BAT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VBS file, or not.
