    Virtual machine to run linux


    Windows is not my main OS. I use it for work and I'd like to install openSUSE (or any other distribution) on a virtual machine to use while I do office work on Windows.

    What are my options?

    Internet exclusively on a Linux virtual machine?


    I do not know if that is possible in VMware. In Hyper-V that is very simple, you just need to unselect Allow management operating system to share this network adapter in Virtual Switch Manager for your external virtual switch:

    • Selected = host and virtual machines have Internet connection
    • Unselected = virtual machines have Internet connection, host not

    Is it possible to install Linux in a Windows virtual Machine?

    I took a class from Harvard to learn Linux and C programming. After the class is over I want to continue with learning Linux. Is it possible to install Linux into a Windows Virtual Machine without spending an arm and a leg?

    Virtual machine to run linux

    BSOD when launching Virtual Machine

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate your effort on this. I understand how difficult it could be when the computer doesn’t work as it is supposed to, we will look into this for you. Please reply with the following details to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting
    steps:



    • Which application are you using to create Virtual Machine?
    • Does the issue occur only when launching a Virtual Machine?
    • Have you reinstalled Windows on the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    I have analyzed the dump files shared by you. Since the issue occurs when you launch Virtual Machine, I suggest you to try disabling the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run       dialog box.
    2. Type services.msc and click on
      OK      .
    3. Look for the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and double click on it to open
      Properties.
    4. Select Disabled from the drop down for
      Startup and Stop the service.
    5. Click on Apply and OK.


    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,
