Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro licence in VMware Workstation 15 Player

I have installed Windows 10 Pro in VMware Workstation 15 Player. Do I need to purchase a Windows 10 Pro licence or can I use the license on the base machine?

Problems Installing Windows 10 Pro in VMware Workstation 15






Hi.

I am having an issue installing Windows 10 Pro x64 in VMware Workstation Player 15. Attached are screen shots of the errors I get. My operating system is Windows 7 Pro. I've tried several ways of doing so, the final being 8135-install-windows-10-virtual-machine-vmware-player I am at a loss as what to try next. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Can't open VMware Workstation Pro 15

Hi there,

I downloaded VMware workstation pro a few days ago & I am not able to open it. When I try to, windows basically tells me that VMware Workstation Pro couldn't be run under windows and that I should look for updates. After a bit of research if found out that
this allegedly is because of a new windows-update, but I couldn't find any solutions.

So...does anyone know what this is all about and what I'm supposed to do?

Yours truly,

Sebastian

Hi there

@ericgies

Just create the VM using the wizard "Create Virtual Machine" and the Windows install ISO file for the GUEST OS (Windows). You don't need any of those UEFI screens for a Windows VM in VMWARE whether or not your main computer (Host) uses it or not.

The Create Virtual Machine wizard should guide you through the process.

Although I use vmware workstation here's the screenshot of vmware player on create virtual machine (I'm on a Linux Host but on Windows the screenshot is exactly the same).
