Guest Operating System

Select the guest operating system that run in the virtual machine. If you are planning to use more than one virtual machine, you can run the Wizard again later to create additional virtual machines.

The set of guest operating systems displayed are those supported by VMware Workstation. Select the operating system from this list that is closest to the operating system you are going to install in the virtual machine. The operating system choice is used to name the virtual machine and to select the amount of memory with which to configure the virtual machine. Later, the Configuration Editor can be used to change the selected guest operating system and the amount of memory allocated to the virtual machine.

Guest operating systems that are not listed may also run but may not be officially supported by VMware Workstation. If you choose to install an unsupported guest operating system, choose the Other option. Consult our Web site for the most recent list of supported and unsupported guest operating systems.
