Version 3.x requires a standard x86-compatible or x86-64 with Intel VT IntelTM Virtualization Technology feature turned on or most AMD64 processors (except the earliest revision C Opteron processors).Īs a Guest OS Windows 7 SP1 is officially supported from VMware Player version 3.1.4 onwards (according to the VMware Compatibility Guide).Īs a Guest OS Windows 7 is officially supported from VMware Player version 4.0 onwards (according to the VMware Compatibility Guide). Versions 4, 5 and 6 all require the host system must have a 64-bit x86 CPU that meets the following requirements.Īs well as other conditions, read the Getting Started with VMware Player document.
