The latest version of VMware Workstation.

Although I'm quite confident you do not require assistance, If you decide to make the switch and are In need of help (example bridged connections/networking, mapping network drives etc), let me know.

You may also wish to checkout "Hyper-V", which Is a native VM on supported Windows operating systems- server versions & editions Inclusive. However, the CPU of your Host (physical machine) must support SLAT (Second Level Address Translation). It will not function without a supported OS & CPU.

I got it all installed, I'll play with the VMs a bit after my exams this week, see if ParrotOS works this time. Thank you for the link!

Just going to mention, I just Googled a key, and out of curiosity, VMware don't check a database to see if a key has been used? I saw comments on a 40 thousand viewed video and they were certain the key would work. I had to try it, and what you know, it worked...  I'm not advocating piracy,  but 10 serial keys were shown, Why would they still allow these keys to be used?   How can these keys still be functional? I'm so confused

You're welcome.

It's good to read you have It all up and running. As with MBAM (Malwarebytes), VMware's EULA does not allow you to use the same license key on another Workstation, but It doesn't (obviously) prevent you from doing so. As opposed to Adobe, VMware's activation servers do not check the reuse of keys, hence there's an abundance floating around the net. I'm not aware of how they operate Internally, but I assume sooner or later they'll catch on and start cracking down on the distribution of keys.

Torrents, or download VMware from the manufacturer's website and get the key thereafter. There's quite a few keys around the net.

This Is one source.

You're welcome.

If your Intention Is to run simultaneous VMs, "Ram" Is of utmost Importance. Virtual machines do consume a lot of memory when quite a few are actively running. And then you must also allow for other tasks.

Generally, 32GB sticks. But 128GB Is also available.

Of course, the MOBO has to accommodate It.
