How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8?

How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? 1. How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Posted Aug 29, 2015 07:27 PM My understanding that hardware needs to be brought up to version 12. I am running XP on my virtual machine 2. RE: How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Best Answer Posted Aug 29, 2015 09:11 PM In Settings>Compatibility, you'll see what hardware version is currently being used and if it's not version 12, click the Upgrade button.BTW, when updating VMware Tools, did you get either a Windows "Found New Hardware WIzard" popping up repeatedly during the install, or have the Tools install hang altogether forcing a Power Off? For me the Hardware Wizard kept popping up in XP Pro and XP Home just locked up. It was necessary to force a Power Off and then run the Tools Repair option in Reinstall VMware Tools. 3. RE: How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Posted Aug 30, 2015 03:03 PM Got it and it was at 6 and I went to 12. Still struggling with tools update - looking for the ISO file??Thanks 4. RE: How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Posted Aug 30, 2015 08:10 PM If I remember correctly, the installer packages eventually appeared as a virtual network drive; the D drive always came up empty. But since the Tools update is often automatic, does the Virtual Machine menu say Update or Reinstall tools?

2025 VM Benchmarks: Parallels 11 vs. Fusion 8 vs. VirtualBox 5

VMware at least acknowledged the issue... 7. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 26, 2020 05:44 PM Same issue here, running catalina 10.15.7 with Fusion 12.1.0. The only workaround is to switch the Full Screen mode to "Center the virtual machine in the screen" and set the correct resolution inside the VM manually. Fusion 11&12 are affected by this bug. 8. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 26, 2020 11:31 PM Thanks for the suggestion! Interestingly, The VMware SVGA adapter doesn't reveal the native resolution of my monitor, so I can't select it in Windows. However it does expose the non-UW resolution 2560x1600. If I select that, it fills the vertical height with no blurring, I just get black bars on the sides of the screen (as expected at that res).Perhaps part of the problem is just that VMware doesn't include more recent UW resolutions in it's SVGA driver?.

Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 1. Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 09, 2020 11:01 PM Hi, I've posted about the full screen blur issues with Fusion 11 previously, but I've finally upgraded to Fusion 12, and unfortunately the issue is still there I'm using Fusion 12 on my 2019 16in MacBook Pro (Catalina 10.15.7), connected to my external 3840x1600 ultrawide monitor. The VM I'm testing with mainly is Windows 10 (1909 currently), with updated hardware version and VMware Tools. Scaling in Windows is always set at 100%, MacOS runs at native 3840x1600 with no scaling.When a VM console is in Windowed mode, it is crisp (see reply for screenshot), but as soon as you go fullscreen the rendering becomes blurry - see attached screenshot.I more often actually use Fusion a remote console for vSphere VMs, and they all exhibit the same behaviour, regardless of the OS.This issue was persistent through all the versions of Fusion 11 that I'd previously used as well - so it's not new to Fusion 12. 2. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 09, 2020 11:02 PM Here's the Windowed mode screenshot to demonstrate the difference. 3. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 12, 2020 10:20 AM From the screenshot, it seems your VM doesn't enable the Retina display support. If there is any Retina display in use, please make sure things below:1. The vmtools are installed properly2. Check the Settings -> Display, make sure the checkboxes "Use full resolution for Retina display" and "Automatically adjust user interface size in the virtual machine" are checked. The comboboxes in "Virtual Machine Resolution" section are "Use Fusion Display Preferences"3. Open VMware Fusion -> Preferences -> Display. Both of the comboboxes are "Resize the virtual machine ..." 4. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 13, 2020 04:52 AM There is no Retina display in use most of the time - only the external monitor which it NOT retina. This is all on only on the external monitor.VMware Tools are installed and up to date, and the other settings are as you suggested. When the VM is in Windowed mode, it's perfect - it's just in fullscreen it messes up the rendering. Honestly, I think Fusion just sees 3840 horizontal resolution and assumes it must be retina, so turns on scaling somewhere in the back end.... 5. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 19, 2020 11:54 PM I've now upgraded to Big Sur as well - same issue still persists. In windowed mode VMs are crisp, but switch to full screen and even though the VM resolution switches to match the full screen native resolution, it still renders with a noticeable blurriness. 6. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 24, 2020 04:12 AM Upgraded to Fusion 12.1 today, and re-checked all the settings - no change, still blurry in full screen.Would be nice if

Creating a Fusion VM for VM system restore

In a VM where at least the harm of running an old, unsupported OS is mitigated. Virtual Machine Apps There are several different virtual machine programs you can choose from: VirtualBox: (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X): VirtualBox is very popular because it's open-source and completely free. There's no paid version of VirtualBox, so you don't have to deal with the usual "upgrade to get more features" upsells and nags. VirtualBox works very well, particularly on Windows and Linux where there's less competition, making it a good place to start with VMs. VMware Player: (Windows, Linux): VMware has their own line of virtual machine programs. You can use VMware Player on Windows or Linux as a free, basic virtual machine tool. More advanced features---many of which are found in VirtualBox for free---require upgrading to the paid VMware Workstation program. We recommend starting out with VirtualBox, but if it doesn't work properly you may want to try VMware Player. VMware Fusion: (Mac OS X): Mac users must buy VMware Fusion to use a VMware product, since the free VMware Player isn't available on a Mac. However, VMware Fusion is more polished. Parallels Desktop: (Mac OS X): Macs also have Parallels Desktop available. Both Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion for Mac are more polished than the virtual machine programs on other platforms, since they're marketed to average Mac users who might want to run Windows software. While VirtualBox works very well on Windows and Linux, Mac users may want to buy a more polished, integrated Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion program. Windows and Linux tools like VirtualBox and VMware Player tend to be targeted to a geekier audience. There are many more VM options, of course. Linux includes KVM, an integrated virtualization solution. Professional and Enterprise version of Windows 8 and 10---but not Windows 7---include Microsoft's Hyper-V, another integrated virtual machine solution. These solutions can work well, but they don't have the most user-friendly interfaces. Setting Up a Virtual Machine Once you've decided on a VM app and gotten it installed, setting up a VM is actually pretty easy. We're going to run

1. Closing Window after VM has shut down Posted May 04, 2017 10:24 AM Hi Community,Hopefully an easy one to answer. I'm using Mac OSX Sierra and Fusion 8.5.6.When I shut down my Windows 10 VM because I run it in a large window (not full screen). I'm left with a large window with a big play button. It's a bit fiddly as I need to close it and I can go back to the main Fusion App and then start another VM. Is there a way for Fusion to auto-close the Window of the Guest OS when it's shut down? Thanks for any adviceKind RegardsMark 2. RE: Closing Window after VM has shut down Posted May 04, 2017 01:10 PM Hi Mark,Welcome at the VMware Communities forum.As far as I am aware there is no such setting, at least I have never seen one and I've been using VMware Fusion since version 1.Would be interested to hear if such an option exists.FWIW you can use Command+W to close the window if you would not like to use a mouse.--Wil 3. RE: Closing Window after VM has shut down Posted May 04, 2017 01:23 PM Thanks. Command-W is good. I'm still trying to get used to the short-cuts so that's helpful. 4.

Trouble with VM Fusion 7

I'm not exactly sure of what you mean by:distro like Kali Linux can't install VM Fusion 13.6.1 installer ToolsI'm interpreting this as meaning that you're looking for the "legacy" or "traditional" VMware Tools packages - and that you're seeing the Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools menu item grayed out. If I'm misinterpreting this, please clarify. If I'm interpreting correctly, there's nothing to fix. There are no "VMware Tools installers" that Fusion provides for arm64 Linux distributions. Use open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop packages provided as part of the Linux distributions (Kali Linux provides them, as well as almost all other ARM and x86_64 Linux distributions). VMware has recommended for years that open-vm-tools should be used for Linux guest operating systems across all of their hypervisor products.As a result of this, the "Install VMware Tools" menu item is grayed out for Linux VMs on Fusion for both Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs. ------------------------------- Paul (technogeezer)------------------------------.

Trying to convert Parallels VM to Fusion 13 VM

The VM a challenge. Try downloading the updates to a Mac, then writing them to a USB stick formatted with FAT. Then use Fusion to attach that USB stick to the VM and install the updates from there. 12. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 06, 2023 01:43 PM Yes, I wasn't planning to download by VW internet., but when I tried, then I found another dead end street.Even what you told me doesn't seem easy for me,but I will try.Thanks a lot, it seems you became aware of my issue.Regards. 13. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 11, 2023 10:47 PM BTW, Technogeezer, do you know if it would be easier to install a VM in Windows 8.1? 14. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 12, 2023 02:26 PM Not sure. I don’t have much to do with older Windows versions lately other than getting them to Windows 10 because those old versions are unsupported and insecure. I’d have to try it. 15. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 12, 2023 06:01 PM For what it's worth, I just ran an experiment. Tools install fine out of the box on a freshly installed Windows 8.1 VM running on Fusion 13.5 .The version of Tools installed was 12.3.0 build 22234872. 16. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 12, 2023 07:39 PM Hi, thanks very much. I was going to answer you about this recent first post that I was going to try to install W8.1 myself in VMWare Player 17.5, instead of the W7 I was trying. (No need to do it yourself, but I really appreciate your kind help).So, anyway, you tested in Fusion that 8.1 install could be easier than W7 virtualization, right?(I understand Vm Fusion is like the Mac's version of the VMWare Player i have. Is that also right?)Many thanks again and regards. 17.

And yes, I found that Windows 8.1 installed very easily. 18. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 13, 2023 04:16 AM I was able to get a Windows 7 fresh install with VMware Tools, but it is plain ugly. There are updates that you have to get into the VM in order to get the tools installed and so that Windows can apply all of its updates. That's squarely on Microsoft - they don't make it easy for anyone to install Windows 7 from scratch at this time. Nothing Fusion related in those problems. You'll
