Windows 10: how to configue vmware workstation 15 to boot a virtual machine from a bootable usb drive

I want to try a lot of tutorials as given here windows tutorials tutorial index
So I need to prepare a lot of live USB sticks or USB sticks in the formats in which tutorials mention. Most of these tutorials that I want to try are windows installation media creation, creating recovery disks creating custom partitions etc. I want to try them first on virtual machines then want to try the steps on real hardware.
I read a tutorial here for usb booting in VMware.
Here is how my virtual machine settings look like.


I power on the firmware and see the boot options

configure boot options

add boot options

No USB boot option






So the question is how do I configure vmware workstation 15 so that I can boot using USB sticks.
I tried using plop boot ISO also
I downloaded from this page
https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html

I downloaded package
https://download.plop.at/files/bootmngr/plpbt-5.0.15.zip
tried putting it as an ISO to boot



I selected the plpt iso which is probably plop boot manager ISO



There was no effect of using plpt boot ISO. What next can I try?


I am using Vmware Workstation 15 Pro 15.1.0 build-13591040.

Installing a Virtual Machine in Windows 10

Step #1 is to decide which virtual machine software you wish to install.

The three most popular choices are:

• VirtualBox (from Oracle)
• VMWare Workstation Player (from VMWare); and
• Hyper-V (from Microsoft)

Once you've made your choice you can find detailed, illustrated instructions for installing each one on the internet.

As a personal suggestion: You might find it easier to use either VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation Player. Hyper-V is more complicated to setup.

Between VirtualBox and VMWare, I think you'll find VirtualBox more user-friendly, and it has the advantage of allowing you to create checkpoints - backups of your virtual machine - whereas to do that in VMWare you'll need to upgrade to their (expensive!)
paid version.

 

Virtual Machine Running Issue

Hi Guys...

I am using VM Ware Workstation Pro 15, I want to run virtual machine on it. It displays an error is (VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible. VMware Workstation can be run after disabling Device/Credential Guard.)

 

VMWare is not letting me run Virtual Machines due to "VMWare and Device/Credential guard are not compatible" error message.

Hello.

Recently after an update from Microsoft, I went onto my computer to run a Virtual Machine on VMWare workstation Pro 15. But when I went to run it, it read this message.:

"VMWare Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible. VMWare Workstation can be run after disabling Device/Credential Guard. Please visit VMware Knowledge Base for more details."

I haven't been able to run a Virtual Machine ever since and it is starting to annoy me, since all the other online solution's don't work.

Can somebody help??
