Please refer to vendor's recommended disk space for specific guest operating systems.Additional hard disk space required for each virtual machine.2 GB of available disk space for the application.Note that Windows 7 hosts are no longer supported, Workstation 16 will not function on them. 2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM or more recommended.A compatible 64-bit x86/AMD64 CPU launched in 2011 or later *.If that fails, I will just start dropping my screen resolution as mitigation.VMware Workstation runs on standard x86-based hardware with 64-bit Intel and AMD processors, and on 64-bit Windows or Linux host operating systems. I am trying to get Workstation Server running in the hopes that I can connect to the VM with a tool that scales, if such exists. For instance, when the guest is booting and is still in text mode, I cannot read anything on the console, because the text is too small. I feel that I should point out that my issue is really only about how the guest display is rendered on the host. The described behavior occurs with "use Host Settings for Monitors" on. I need a solution that works without VMWare tools, as I may run legacy and/or unsupported systems. Workstation 11 ignores this setting and displays guest windows pixel-per-pixel. I would like to set it lower, but pixel-based windows become unreadable. I have it set to the second highest magnification value. equally to give the effect of a lower resolution display. Windows 8.1 has a feature in the "Display" control panel app, "Change the size of alll items" which has 5 steps (gradations?) and is intended to enlarge all windows, fonts, icons, etc.
