USER MANUAL:
After installing, go to Help> Enter Serial Number and click "Het Serial Number" Step 1: Install VMware Workstation (like a normal install other software, every Next is OK, remember to fill Serial number). Step 2: Run Run VMware Workstation and create configuration and install the operating system for virtual machines: you launch VMware-Workstation program, on the main interface of the program, you click the menu File> New> Virtual Machine (Ctrl + N) to conducting initial configuration of the virtual machine. The dialog New Virtual Machine Wizard appears, click Next, select Typical and click Next, select the type of operating system (Guest operating system) and the version of the operating system (Version ) that you intend to want to install on your virtual machine and then click Next, name (Virtual machine name) and choose where to store the virtual machine (Location). Click Next. In the Network Connection select the connection type for each of your needs. If you want to set up an interactive network between physical and virtual machines, then select Use bridged networking connections. Click Next and then select the hard disk capacity of the virtual machine, the default is 8 GB. Click Finish. After creating the virtual machine will also have a full range of equipment such as an ordinary PC, which means you can go to the BIOS (virtual) to set the parameters for the virtual BIOS. The options on the frameDevice :
- Memory: set the amount of RAM for the virtual machine.
- Hard Disk (IDE 0: 0): Data on the hard disk capacity of the virtual machine.
CD-ROM (IDE 1: 0): You selected Use physical drive to use the physical CD-ROM drive of the physical computer. If you want to install the operating system from the image file (ISO) is selected Use ISO image . Experience shows that you should create image files (ISO) for the installation disc, to be able to proceed more quickly.
- Ethernet: You can select the connection type (Network Connection) to fit your needs.
- USB Controller: Option for whether to use the USB connection in virtual machine (default automatically allows use of USB in a virtual machine).
