VMware Workstation is a program for creating virtual computers on your PC. VMware Workstation can be used to test different operating systems and programs, network connections on one computer, while not affecting the security of the main PC. This article will show you how to create a Windows XP virtual machine. Once launched, the VMware Workstation program dialog box appears.
To create a new virtual machine, press the "New Virtual Machine" button or just use the Ctrl + N keyboard buttons.
Select a disk or .iso file (image) with the operating system. In my example, I will use a Windows XP disk. Click Next.
VMware Workstation will ask for an activation key (if you are installing Windows). After entering the key, select the name and folder where the operating system will be installed.
We indicate the size of the hard disk of our virtual machine and click Next. The recommended hard disk size for Windows XP is 40 Gb, but 8Gb is enough for testing.
The last check before creating the virtual machine. Using the Customize Hardware ... button, you can change the current settings, for example, increase the amount of RAM for the virtual machine. Click Finish, the installation of the operating system on VMware Workstation begins.
Further, the installation of the operating system on VMware Workstation is carried out as usual.
