Can i setup a virtual machine with windows 11? I tried it but it wont work. It doesn't have the right requirements but i gave the machine 12gb ram. 150 gb ssd. 4 cores processor. So I don't think that's the problem. Anyone that can help me?
yes that was the problem. I had to designate "generation 2" in the setup under "Specify Generation" and check the secure boot in the setting. That solved it.

I'm trying to create a VM from an .iso file on my computer. In my boot order settings, the DVD Drive with as value the .iso is at the top. I've tried several different VM's (Ubuntu18.04, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016) all of which give me the same problem where they don't boot from the .iso file. Pressing any key doesn't do anything.
I followed tutorials from both my lecturers and articles online when creating the VM's.
I am clueless as to what I'm doing wrong, so any help is appreciated

Try disabling Secure boot in the "Security" section of the settings.
I had the same problem with a gen2 Linux vm (running in Hyper-V Manager 10.0.17763.1). Turning off "Enable Secure Boot" allowed booting from an .iso.
I think in some other versions of Hyper-V Manager the setting is under "Firmware"
Just go into VM Settings / Firmware and change the boot order by moving the VHDX image to the top.
Changing to Generation 2 VM is not necessary.
This occurred when I was trying to boot from a Win 10 ISO. After the "Press any key to Boot from DVD..." message displays, it jumps almost immediately to trying to boot from the network (PXE over IPv4). The solution for me was to select 'Reset' from the Hyper-V menu and then immediately start hitting a key before the message showed up.
Worked for me:
Create a new VM.
A "New Virtual Machine Wizard" will start.
During step 3 - "Specify Generation", choose "Generation 1"
When using Windows10 - moving the VHDX to the top Boot order was the solution in my case.
When using Linux - Changing secure boot to use "Microsoft UEFI Certificate Authority" was the solution. I tested CentOS_Stream & Mint - same problem, same solution.
I left enabled "Enable Secure Boot" flag, but selected a different template: from "Microsoft Windows" to "Microsoft UEFI certificate Authority" for my Centos 7 distribution hosted by Windows 10.
This tells the UEFI is needed for Linux installation.
The only solution in my case was to re-create the VM in Generation 1. Changing the boor order or disabling Secure Boot did not resolved the issue at all.
It seems "Quick Create" creates VM in Generation 2 by default. You have to Go with "New" instead of "Quick Create" to choose Generation 1.
In my case I left disabled the "Enable Secure Boot" flag and it worked pretty
Copying a vhdx image from a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V environment to Windows 10 Hyper-V, I had to create a Generation 1 VM. Generation 2 did NOT work. It booted without the PXE over IPV4 error then.
USB Device Causing VM's to Freeze - Cannot Kill vmware-vmx.exe
The problem was described here - https://communities.vmware.com/thread/612551
but anyone has no answer for it.
Generally, the problem is like so:
launch vm
connect usb stick or usb phone cable
vm freezes
it is not possible to terminate vmware-vmx.exe process (even as a SYSTEM user with highest privs).
The issue occurs on vmware workstation 14 & 15 on Windows 10 Pro Build 1903
Also tried disabling windows defender (maybe some strange scan policy) but no results.
Tried also to change almost every setting in workstation but no results...
please help
I was facing exactly the same issue and I have finally found the solution.
Update to VMWare Workstation version 15.5. Update the VM Tools in the Guest operating System, and it works!! Tried with Android Devices, in USB Tethering Mode also.
I have installed VMware-workstation-full-10.0.3-1895310 on windows 8.1. Although VMware brige protocol is enabled in my LAN adapter but still I am unable to add and switch VMNET0 to bridged mode.
It says "Cannot change network to bridged: There are no unbridged host network adapters"
So far I have tried the following things:
I have reinstalled it many times
I have restore default settings of virtual network editor
Have also checked that Vmware bridge protocol is enabled
Have checked that whether vmnetbridge service is running or not
have done almost everything present on forums
I had this same problem also. I also run Kaspersky AV, and tried bigapple99's suggestion and unticked Kaspersky Antivirus NDIS 6 filter. This made the NIC show up in the editor, but didn't fix the problem. I noticed I was running the editor as Administrator when it was showing up, so I tried running VMWare Workstation as Administrator too. It worked! I tried reticking the Kaspersky filter, and reopening VMWare Workstation as Administrator, and it still works :) Best of both works, I'll just Run as Administartor now.
I had the same problem after upgrading windows 10. "Repair" VMware workstation version fixed the problem. I'm using VMware Workstation 11.1.3.
It's wired in network editor the "Bridged To" showing nothing in the drop down list (at least it should show "Automatic"). Can you try to untick the Kaspersky Antivirus NDIS 6 filter in LAN property to see whether your NIC will show up in the editor?
I had the same problem today and I thought I'd come back to you since no one answered your post yet.
My problem was coming from Kaspersky AV.
Remove VMWare
Remove Kaspersky AV
Re-Install VMWare
Re-Install Kaspersky
Hope it'll be of some help.
Best,

I am setting up a testing PC to help find a weired bug on a single core computer. None of the PCs in our office have single core any more.
Can I use VMWare to something similar to emulate a single core PC on a multi-core computer?
Can you emulate a 32Bit version of windows with VMWare on a 64bit PC?
Yes for both questions with VMWare.
You can change the number of CPUs (cores) to allocate for each Virtual Machine. If you allocate just one, you'll have your 1-core machine.
You can install a 32-bit operating system on a 64-bit VMWare host.
Yes. Pretty much all the desktop virtualisation apps default to emulating a single-core 32-bit guest machine. (They may be using multiple host cores to do it.)
VMware and VirtualBox allow multiple cores to be configured and 64-bit guests; VirtualPC currently does not.
Is virtual PC practical on a home personal development computer. I do some custom .net programming at home and I was wondering if in terms of performance and overall use, Virtual PC is useful. Do the applications inside Virtual PC session run slower. It will help me with my personal dev machine. Would you recommend any other products?
In my estimation virtual machines are one of the best tools that a developer can have. I have my base dev machine and on it I run VPC for different platforms to test installations and application functionality. For web development I keep VPC;s running each of the major browsers that I support, so I continually test my websites on various browsers. I even still maintain an old VB6 app and I have replicated my old VB6 build environment to a VPC image. Make sure you have lots of RAM. My machine runs with 4GB and that works well for most everything I need. I also have Sourcegear Vault set up for source code management. I have the clients loaded on the various VPC's that I use for development and they all check data in and out from my central SQL Server box. It works great.
It really depends on what your home computer is like. I've used VPC to test different versions of Visual Studio (e.g. to make sure that a solution is VS2005 compatible, and to check out VS2010).
I wouldn't want to use it all the time, but then I am working on a laptop. Given a really meaty multicore home desktop (preferrably with hardware support, of course, and lots of memory) it could be reasonably practical for day-to-day use.
VMWare Player is free and some people find it faster - I haven't used it enough to compare the two properly myself. If you're spend a lot of time "in" the VM, it would probably be worth giving both a proper test-drive.
VPC is a very good choice. I use it to test deployments and for presentation purposes.
If you have a PC with a new Intel chip and at least 2 gigs of RAM it actually works just as fast as a regular PC would :).
I recommend 4 gigs of ram though, they're cheap as hell these days and it really matters.
I've had some success with this; I had to develop some older .NET 1.1 software on Vista, which wasn't supported. I had to run XP in a virtual PC container in order to get the project done.
The biggest issue was available RAM; I'd recommend maxing out your home PC to use as much as it can- this will likely be less than 4GB unless you're running a 64Bit OS. I found that getting an extra gig of ram made life much better. Ram is cheap right now, so I'd start there if it didn't work well enough for me at first.
Yes applications will run slower but the hit isn't as big as you might expect. It is pretty reasonable to do development on a virtual machine. Obviously the performance is relative to how fast your computer is, a mulitcore machine will do nicely.
If you develop driver or core routines, where every mistake can and usually will result in a crash. A VM is the best you can use.
I tried Virtual PC and VMWare. They are both pretty good for such stuff.
Virtual PC should be fast enough, unless your driver or code is really time sensitive. A cross-platform, free alternative to Virtual PC is Virtual box.
If you've got a VirtualPC license already, by all means use it. If not, you might have a look at Sun's VirtualBox. It's Free/Libre and cross-platform. I use it to run windows and linux on mac os x and linux and have been quite happy with it.
You can run your dev tooling natively on your pick of O/S. and use VM's to test on other environments. Get lots of memory if you're going to do this, say 2GB or more - if you haven't already.
AMD chips have some facilities (nested page tables etc.) that improve VM performance. 2nd gen Opterons and some Athlon 64 chips will support this for reasonable money. You can even get brand-name hardware like an HP XW4550 with this sort of chip for fairly reasonable money. I'm not sure to what extent Intel has caught up with this yet.
Assuming your host machine has enough raw power then a virtual machine works fine. I have a 2.5GB ram, 2Ghz duel core work laptop and don't want to install vs2008 for personal development so have a virtual machine for that. I've given it 1 GB of dedicated memory at the moment and it runs great, no problems. If needed I'll up the ram allocation but for now I'm happy.
Hope this helps :-)
I use VirtualBox for all development and find the performance much better than VPC. My machine is about a 2 year old dual core with 4gb ram and performance is not noticeably slower than running natively. The virtual machines are Vista and the host OS is Windows 2008. I would definitely recommend using virtual machines as creating a fresh new machine for a new project is very easy.
I have a toshiba notebook with 2Gig of Ram. I am wondering if its worth to install Virtual box and use it to browse web, do quicken, some small dev work etc.? How would I install Windows OS on virtualbox virtual session? Are there good tutorials out there? Would 2gig of ram be enough to run virtual sessions on notebook computer with following configuration:
2 gig of ram
Intel Pentium 4 cpu
60 gig hdd
