Windows 10: Vm player not letting me upgrade to win10

Hopefully this is the right subreddit. My grandma's computer is currently on win 7 sp1. I am trying to upgrade it but the upgrade tool from windows says vmplayer is not compatible with win10 and needs to be Uninstalled. When I try to it says to manually uninstall. I use the uninstall program feature and no luck. I try to delete the program manually in the program files and it won't let me.

Any help?

Win10 Nov updates one VM and not the other

I have two VMs running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

• One was upgraded to public Win10 from 8.1 - call this one Host A
• One was upgraded to public Win10 from Win 10 Insider Build using the public ISO - call this one Host B

Fired up Host A the other day and the November Win 10 Pro update was there and then spent the rest of the evening doing its thing...eventually finished and is all now happy running the latest update.

So logic suggests that when I fire up Host B, the same update process should kick off and a few hours later
Host B is running the November Win 10 Pro update as well.

But...this was not the case...the November Win 10 Pro update does not appear on the list of updates to be installed on
Host B. Left the VM running overnight in case it would try later....but nothing. "Check for updates" does show the update.

"Defer Upgrades" is not checked, updates are set to "Automatic (recommended)", and "View Update History" just shows Windows Defender updates.

So bit at a loss to understand why the November update is not showing up for
Host B!

So if anyone has a suggestion how I can get the November update on Host B, please let me know?

Thanks

Peter

 

Vmware workstation 7 stoped working after upgrade from Win7SP1 to Win10

Upgrade was perfect for all applications. But VMware workstation 7.1.6 went through the upgrade process but the VMs on the machine did not restart giving memory error. Reinstalled the software, VMs still do not start saying the "Authorization Service not
started. Tried to install latest VMware Player 12, (VMware claims it runs on Win10), even that did not start. Both VMware 7.1.6 and VMware player 12 during installation gave an apparently non-fatal error message pertaining to "IRQL_NOT_LESS_NOT_EQUAL". Running
Win10 Pro 64-bit with latest updates. Any suggestion to make VMware 7.1.6 work is welcome - PKM
