Virtual Machines

We use virtual machines for various purposes. As a hypervisor running these virtual machines we suggest using VMware Workstation Player. 

Import Image

1. Open VMWare Workstation Player
2. Click on: Player → File → Open... , then select the .ovf file of the image.
3. Give the virtual machine a name and select a place to store it. Make sure that this place is not on a synchronized drive such as One Drive!
4. Click on Import

Settings

The newly imported virtual machine will appear in in VMWare. Go to Settings (right mouse button) and make sure that "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI" checkbox is not set.
