If you computer is capable (has at least 8 GB of RAM) up the RAM to 4 GB: I recommend leaving Split virtual disk into multiple files.īefore installing Ubuntu select Customise Hardware because the default hardware settings are pretty weak:

The default storage is 20 GB but you may increase it. to a different HDD/SSD depending what suits. Here you can name your VM and you can also opt to change the location of the VM e.g.

Then type in your password, Ubuntu won't let you install without a password: The username has to all be lower case with no spaces. The only disadvantage of easy install is there is no option to select language options using VMWare player and it defaults to English US language and keyboard :(. The language settings for both can easily be changed after installation and I will demonstrate the change of English US to proper English UK. If easy install is not selected one may have difficulty installing VMWare tools manually. With Easy Install VMWare Player will automatically install Ubuntu and VMWare tools without the need for user input. iso you downloaded:Įnsure "This Operating System will use Easy Install" is shown. Left click player → Left Click File → Left Click New Virtual Machine: Of course sufficient graphics and hard drive space is also sufficient. You want to check the number of threads and you want the processor to support virtualisation technologies. If the processor is Intel Google Search “Intel Ark Processor Number” e.g. Right click the start button and select system (in Windows 7, left click start and then right click computer and select properties):Ĭheck the RAM, you want at least 4 GB >8 GB recommended.

You need strong Physical Hardware at least double those of Windows 10’s minimum system requirements. Virtual Machine = Virtual Computer with Emulated Hardware System Requirements
