Its Easy Install feature simplifies the task of creating Windows 8 virtual machines. The latest version of VMware Workstation is optimized for running Windows 8 on Windows PCs. With VMware, you can install, say, Windows 8 and give users access to it, without actually upgrading a specific machine or risking introducing an undesirable user experience into the enterprise. One of the most popular reasons why corporate customers use a virtual machine is to evaluate the next generation operating system. It's one of the best companion apps for any technical professional as they move to the cloud.
VMware Workstation's operating system support, user experience, feature set and performance will dramatically change the way you work with virtual machines. VMware Workstation is cloud capable and cloud aware. It’s a virtual workstation manager for Windows. This is one reason why I like VMWare Workstation.
Getting access to the cloud can also be challenging. Yes, a native app may exist for your OS of choice, but if it doesn't or if you need to keep your OS free of clutter, things get complicated. Running the application you need on your computer isn't always as easy as you might think. There are a number of things you can do to keep the amount of changes to a minimum.įor example you can keep the old virtual hardware version.Run a guest OS on your PC with this industry leading Windows app. On the host itself you can use snapshots to make experimenting a bit easier, but beware that a snaphshot isn't a good backup. Shut down your guest OS before making that copy and never work directly with that copy (make a copy of the copy to use)

Make sure to have a copy of your important guest OS on an external harddisk before you upgrade anything so that you have something to go back to. Moving your guest OS to another folder or another PC however can trigger the activation logic as it will see a different CPU.ĭepending on the question "Did you copy or move" this can also add more virtual hardware changes.įWIW always choose "Move" if you don't want any virtual hardware changes in the guest OS. So that part should not trigger any activation issues. You should however have no problem running your guest in a newer version of Player (try Player 12) under Windows 10.Ĭhanging the host OS itself will not be seen by the guest OS. I'm not sure if Player 6 will actually work well under Windows 10, I think it does not, but I suppose it might depend on your actual needs. Q: Is there a way around this sort of issue? I guess this has something to due with the Netbook not having the same components/configuration/motherboard/etc as the PC on which the. It seemed like it was going to work and then it got stuck at the Windows activation.

More background and another question I managed to get Windows 10 Preview running on an old netbook just to have a look at the OS. *Some background: The reason I ask if this will work, is that I am concerned that after the OS upgrade, my PC system might be different enough that it will trigger some kind of Windows activation issue for the virtual machine OS. What I want to know is this: If I take the plunge and do the Windows upgrade from 8.1 to 10 on my current PC, will I be able to just fire up Player 6.0.7 after the upgrade and it will work just as it did before? Player 6.0.7 lets me run some very important legacy apps from my old Win98 as a virtual machine.

I am currently running Player 6.0.7 on a 32bit Windows 8.1 PC. I have read some discussion that Player 6.0.7 will run on a 32bit installation of Windows 10.
