@djbrooks022 Thanks very much.
Nice one! Clear and easy guide.
It even worked on my ancient i7.
I ignored the warning at VM install
I had a VMX-Unrestricted-Guest warning similar to below on VM start
This host does not support
virtualizing real mode. The Intel
"VMX Unrestricted Guest" feature is
necessery to run this virtual machine
on an Intel Processor.
fixed with addition to VM workstation config.ini
go to this path :
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation
and so change this file : config.ini
set this parameter on file config.ini
authd.client.port = "902"
authd.proxy.nfc = "vmware-hostd:ha-nfc"
installerDefaults.autoSoftwareUpdateEnabled = "no"
installerDefaults.autoSoftwareUpdateEnabled.epoch = "25844"
installerDefaults.componentDownloadEnabled = "yes"
installerDefaults.dataCollectionEnabled = "no"
installerDefaults.dataCollectionEnabled.epoch = "25844"
monitor.allowLegacyCPU = "true" <---- this needs to be added
I had to sort the bridge adapter bit also… I only have my NIC card ticked in configure option
one buggy bit was typing on the account creation page. I could only type a letter at a time and box would lose focus, until I mouse clicked on it again, Reloading the page fixed that.
Worked with an Addon using bluetooth too!
