Who are the certified experts? How quickly will I get my solution? I used the Easy Install option. Both times it failed to unmount the Windows 7 install ISO requiring me to manually eject it and reboot the VM before the Install VMware Tools menu item would even show up without being greyed out. Success - now have internet access. Windows Update appeared to be non-functional at this point so I went to the alternative steps: Using the default Explorer browser in the guest OS, downloaded and installed Google Chrome and used that to access the articled you posted.
Explorer wasn't able to do it for various reasons. From there was able to access, download, and install the two Windows Standalone updates mentioned in the article. Reboot the VM, and was then able to mount the "windows.
I don't know if Windows Update still works or not for Windows 7 considering that it is officially out of support. So if your Mac hardware is or newer, it might be blocking Windows Update assuming that Windows 7 update online is still available.
Probably can mask the CPU as a 6th gen in the vmx. Right click on the VM as shown in Figure 5. This will launch TextEdit. Make the following changes to the. Find ethernet0. If you would like to read a detailed comparison of these two NICs and others which can be used with VMWare, check out this page. One of the main causes of slower performance in my Windows VM turned out to be caused by Windows Update. I noticed that I was constantly running out of hard drive space, and would allocate more space from the host OS to improve performance.
It turns out that Windows keeps copies of all updates, and performing a normal Disk Cleanup does not remove these files even when they are completely redundant. Note that in Figure 8 , performing the cleanup will free up less than 10 MB.
Now, the Disk Cleanup tool shows that 3 GB of space will be reclaimed. Running this tool once a month should improve the performance of your Windows 10 VM dramatically. The cleanup process took approximately 45 minutes to complete when I ran it for the first time. Another way to realize performance gains is by adjusting the size of the paging file. This will open Performance Options.
