I hadn’t tried VMware Fusion before, so I installed a 30-day trial on my macOS High Sierra based MacBook Air. ![]() I did try running it on my 2009 iMac, but VMware requires newer hardware. For the last week or two I’ve been putting it through its paces, installing Windows 10 and several other operating systems, and trying just about every feature in the program. This review reflects the Mac version of the newly-released VMware Fusion, though it’s also available for Windows and Linux. I’ll share what the software is capable of, including what I like and dislike. VMware Fusion allows you to run Windows apps on your Mac. Well, technically Windows is running on a virtual machine, a computer emulated in software. Your virtual computer is assigned a portion of the RAM, processor and disk space of your real computer, so it will be slower and have less resources. You’re not limited to just running Windows: you can install other operating systems including Linux and macOS - including older versions of macOS and OS X. VMware Fusion requires a Mac launched in 2011 or later that must be running OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later. No, VMware Fusion is not free, but a 30-day trial is available so you can evaluate the software before purchase. VMware Fusion costs $79.99, or you can upgrade for $49.99. This method works for both parallels and vmware fusion.The Pro version costs $159.99, and upgrade pricing of $119.00 is also available. If this worked please repost this message to others, alot of people are struggling with this. It should work since I had the same type of issue as you i can guarantee it. Continue running it, you can also enable hypervisor. From there start up the vm and when it asks to make changes before boot, check that, go to the advanced tab, it should look like a gear, when in those settings it should have something that asks what to use for virtualization it will be on auto, change that to VT-x and such and such and then close that tab and give it 4 cpu's some RAM and if you can more video memory. Ok i have the solution which will work, assuming your cpu supports VT-x, in clover run boot flag dart=0, go into bios/uefi and enable intel virtualization, save and reset, then boot into clover, use clover to turn off the system, when it shuts down unplug the computer and wait for all power to drain ie: no lights on in the system, plug it back in start it as usual make sure you have bootflag dart=0 enabled in clover options. If you could offer any help or insight I'd be greatly appreciated! ![]() Before I give up on VMware I'd like to see if it's at all possible to fix this. Just from times to times when I'm heavy into my work I'd like to avoid having to do a complete restart to access it for something quick. I'd like to avoid the workaround of "install as a VM" since I have a lot of Autodesk and heavier apps installed. The weird thing is I tried the trial of Parallels 12 and it works great! No problems with loading or running apps at all. I mucked with all the Fusion 8 settings, and those don't work. Now I've google'ed and seen a recommendation to turn off Quick Start (Power -> Choose what buttons do -> Uncheck quick startup), but that didn't work. I get the windows icon, then just as it should give me the login screen, I get " Stop Code: KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED". The trouble is when I try to use Fusion 8 to load my windows install. Everything works great so far if I boot directly into either system. I have OSX 10.12 installed on SSD #1 and Windows 10 Pro on SSD #2.
