UNFORTUNATELY, this whole thing is NOT a good solution for anyone (like me) who already has MANY TERABYTES of existing VMWare image files: You'll need to spend a huge amount of time CONVERTING those into. NOTE: You can download the conversion program (OVFTool.exe) by itself from VMWare here:īecause if you allow the Windows 10 update to DELETE VMWare install, it will delete this too! Here are SOME VERY IMPORTANT CAVEATS CONCERNING switching from VMWare to VirtualBox: Sedory windows-10-security windows-10-application-compatibility But it's your software telling me I can no longer use an application that runs just fine under Win 10 1809. though I certainly find them at fault in this as well. You are effectively telling me I must get new hardware or never be able to update Windows 10! (And don't blame VMWare. and of course a new CPU and then new Memory which is currently DDR2 not DDR3.)ĭOES MICROSOFT HAVE AN UPDATE THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE USING VMWare 12.5 ? it can't work with any CPU beyond what I already have!.

because I cannot afford to purchase a whole new PC! (I would need a completely new motherboard. both have same issue:), it said it could not function with my INTEL Q6600 CPU !!! I had to go back to Win 10 version 1809. But when I tried to install the new VMWare version (it was a 14 or 15. Upon upgrading to Windows 10 version 1903 (or later I would assume!), the update told me I could no longer use VMWare 12.5 (but that VMWare would supply a later version I could use.

My platform has an Intel Q6600 (Dual Core Quad) CPU.
