VMware Player 12 is a 64-bit application. It cannot be installed on a 32-bit operating system What are the minimum PC requirements to install and use VMware Workstation Player?

For a typical host system, we recommend that you have a 1 GHz or faster 64-bit processor (2GHz recommended) and 2GB RAM minimum (4GB RAM recommended). You must have enough memory to run the 64-bit host operating system, plus the memory required for each guest operating system and for applications on the host and guest.

See your guest operating system and application documentation for their memory requirements. VMware Player requires approximately 150MB of disk space to install the application. For more details on minimum PC requirements, see the VMware Player Documentation. System Requirements • 64-bit x86 Intel Core 2 Duo Processor or equivalent, AMD Athlon™ 64 FX Dual Core Processor or equivalent 1.3GHz or faster core speed • 2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM recommended • Workstation 12 Player installation: • 300MB of available disk space for the application.

Additional hard disk space required for each virtual machine. Please refer to vendors recommended disk space for specific guest operating systems. • NOTE: Workstation 12 Player requires a 64-bit host operating systemHHost operating systems* (64-bit): • Windows 10 • Windows 8 • Windows 7 • Windows Server 2012 • Windows Server 2008 • Ubuntu 8.04 and above • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above • CentOS 5.0 and above • Oracle Linux 5.0 and above • openSUSE 10.2 and above • SUSE Linux 10 and above What if I still need to run Workstation 12 Player on a 32-bit Host?

Is the last version that supports both a 32-bit and a 64-bit operating systems running on the host PC. However you can purchase Workstation 12 Player and downgrade to Player 6 Plus via the My VMware Portal - please reference knowledge base article '.

When you first launch VMware Workstation, you’re greeted with a welcome screen that allows you to quickly create a new virtual machine (VM), edit networks, connect to a remote server, and more. Creating a new VM is a piece of cake.

VMware Workstation will detect what operating system you’re installing and will ask you relevant questions for things like product keys. It will also install the drivers and tools needed to make the VM work will with your native desktop environment. Different VMs will show up in different tabs so you can bounce between different VMs with ease. VMware Workstation’s tabbed interface allows quick access to all of your virtual machines and even settings from the home tab.

When you’re inside a VM, VMware Workstation puts a persistent toolbar at the top of the screen to access features like full screen, Unity, and even video capture. There’s also a easy to use interface for taking snapshots and restoring your virtual machines. Unity mode Unity mode in VMware Workstation is great if you want to integrate applications from your virtual machines with ones from your native operating system. Applications that are virtualize are clearly marked, making it easy to distinguish the same app from different machines. Unity will blend both operating systems seamlessly so you get a fluid desktop experience. Users will still be able to influence the settings and control their VMs with ease, even in Unity mode.

VMware improved its juggling of having two Start Menus by having the VM’s start menu show up when hovering over the host’s Start button. Speed VMware Workstation has improved the speed across the board. Creating virtual machines is speedier but the restoring and suspending virtual machines provides the best example of improved performance. Virtual machines react quickly. Jumping in and out of VMs is much faster. There are also improved 3D graphics support so you can even virtual some low powered games.
