![]() ![]() So it'll just ignore that if I choose that. I'm going to choose to use three, and then under processors you can go ahead and choose whatever the amount you'd like. Make sure the box is checked for power on this virtual machine after creation if you'd like that and click on customize hardware if you'd like to make any changes, such as by default it's going to use two gigabytes of RAM and you can check the free amount of RAM you have in your task manager to decide how much RAM you'd like to use. Since I'm not going to use this for commercial purposes. It does reduce performance however, so I'm just going to choose the single file. If you choose the multiple file option when you'd like to go to another computer. And that allows you to make it easier to move. Another option you don't have with Hyper-V, but you do have with VMware is to store the virtual disc as either a single file or multiple files. So I'm going to say to not use more than 40 gigabytes, which should be enough to install Windows along with any updates it needs. So you're probably going to want to take a look and see what kind of free space you have. I'm going to choose the defaults on both and click next. Now we can enter the virtual machine name as well as the location. Otherwise it will prompt us for the password later on, and we can also enter what name we'd like to use to log in. I can also choose the version to install. Now, if I have a product key, I can paste it in here. Since I don't have one in my drive but if I did have an installation disc in there then I could use that. So I'll go ahead and click on installer disc and browse to my ISO. However, with VMware Workstation, you can. With Hyper-V you can't use the DVD in the DVD drive, You can only use an ISO file. We're just using this for demonstration purposes and not actually using it for commercial use, so we can go ahead and continue by clicking on create a new virtual machine. And you can enter your license or choose for non-commercial use. After restarting, I can go ahead and double click on the VMware Workstation Player. Otherwise, just go ahead and click, finish and restart as prompted. And I'll click finish, if you have a license key, you can choose that. You may get prompted to reboot the computer either during the installation or afterwards, so just be prepared. And if you want to have shortcuts installed you can do that. Updates are always a good idea due to security issues. If you'd like to join the VMware customer experience and check for product updates. It's a good idea to install the enhanced keyboard driver and also make sure the add VMware Workstation console tools and click next. (computer chimes) Installation wizard comes up and I'll choose to accept the license agreement and run through the installation. VMware Player has completed and now I'll run the installation. And although the workstation is not going to be in production use, you're going to find that it's a great training tool for sysadmins who want to break into the business. ![]() VMware makes an enterprise product called ESXi.
