Hello!
If you want to use CHR you should use CHR image for this. It is not possible to make CHR from x86 disk (image).
You can download the images here:

I am very surprised by this answer, because RouterOS CHR and x86 use the same distribution package: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/why-routeros-chr-and-x86-use-the-same-distribution-package/145346/1
can anyone comment on this situation?
Why don’t you export the configuration of the x86, then do a fresh install of chr and import the config?
It should be quite fast and easy.
I thought that due to the fact that they are using the same distribution package, it would be enough to simply replace the license key
