Windows 10: Vmware - anybody got W10 to install and work properly

Just point it to that ISO, it won't recognize the OS so just press next,





Then you select windows, and windows 8 for 32bit (or the windows 8 x64 if you're installing the 64 bit) then next,





Give it a name and a place to live, I chose the default place to store it, then next,





Then size your virtual partition, it will default to 60 but you can shrink that, and dot the store as a single file, then next,





Then click the customize hardware,





And since I already talked to you about how much RAM, just slide it to 2GB and the close,





Then you will be back to this window,





Just click play virtual machine and the install will continue, just like a https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html

You'll get a yellow bar across the bottom to install VMware tools, just wait till the install is finished before doing that.





I'm sure you can figure out the rest though.

 

^^Great post, derekimo. Just what I needed.^^

There was no issues with installing Vmware Player version 6.0.1 build-1379776. The display is just fine, with or without the Vmware tools:

 

Just to confirm I have installed 10 3 times in Workstaion 10.0.3 build-1895310. A 32 bit version which I gave 3GB and the Enterprise Version with Windows to Go 64 bit and the Add features to Windows 10 64 Bit Tech Preview. I also added Windows media ceter to the Tech Preview but have not tested any of the media center yet. So far so good. I think most of the issues are bad downloads when the installation fails completely.

Install the tools it will let the OS run better.*Cool

 

Ok, my ASUS 10" tablet does not have a slot for SSD (but it will look funny if it does) so I installed VMware-player-6.0.3-1895310 on the attached micro-SD card (a Samsung Evo 64GB). Everything is sweet in just one go. But do I really need to install those tools that keep popping up?

 

Thank you for the great post. I will give it a shot.

Thanks as well. Lots to learn. Never dealt with VM or even iso files before.

 

Yes, it enables a bunch of features and makes the OS run better. Install them if you can.

The tools were installed, more for sharing the folder on the host than for improving the display...

 

When using VMware do I need to burn the ISO to a disk first ?

 

No, you can just point it to the ISO, see the first picture posted by derekimo.

There is also a guide here if it helps - VMware Player - Install Windows 8
It's aimed at Windows 8 but it's the same for Windows 10

Thank's, I should read with both eye's open.

 

It's fine, doesn't matter how many pictures there are sometimes, it's easy to miss things here and there.
