Just my 2 pennies. I followed the instructions here:-
And run HAOS inside the virtualbox VM with no issues at all. This is running on a pretty old Dell optiplex 3050 with an i5-7500t. As we all know, it can also run on a pi, which has a fraction of the processing power, so that laptop must have been really ancient if it didnt have the sufficient resources.
this was the spec of the old laptop. I have no idea how close is it to your “pretty old Dell optiplex 3050 with an i5-7500t.”
Not sure how that laptop would fair against a pi, but thats seriously old.
- it’s a 32 bits cpu on that
- and therefore most likely no uefi
FWIW I’m running VMWare 17 (with a 16.x VM version) with no problem.

Click on the configure adapter button… Whats listed?
Try to click " ADD… " and choose network adapter, as it doesn’t seems to find one, which is very strange, there (first pic) should be at-least 2 “choices” ethernet/wifi, i have 4 …1 ethernet, 1 wifi , and then 2 Microsoft WI-FI Direct Virtual Adapter.
On one of my laptops i even have Bluetooth to choose.
Good to hear, then i guess i have to try again another time, i don’t remember what the reason was, but obviously i might just have been fumbling around , or didn’t find my self “comfortable” with the “new Version” 
Well there’s you problem, VMWare can’t find any installed adapter, which is quite unusual.
Can you post a picture of the network adapters that are present on your machine?
Perhaps: (one at a time (until you get VMWare to see some adapters), not all at once)
- Make sure your machines network adapters are fully up to date (reboot).
- Make sure Windows OS is fully up to date (reboot).
- Reinstall VMware in repair mode (reboot).
- Completely remove VMware 17 and try 16 (reboot between each)?
item 1 -
item 2- window is uptodate
I really dont know how to do item 3 .
item 4 tried to dowload v16 and install but fail because I don’t know how to uninstall ver 17.
you uninstall/remove programs either via start/Control-panel/Programs & Features , or simply by start/ program meny/scroll down to vmware/open folder ,right-click on vmware-icon, choose uninstall
The VMware installer can be accessed via program/app system as @boheme61 pointed out. It is there that you can choose the “repair” option after clicking the “Modify” button.
If the repair doesn’t work after a reboot, then it is also here you would choose the Remove option.
