Installing Linux on Windows on a virtual machine is easy. Here’s how to install Linux on VMware Virtual Machine in Windows process flow.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the beginning, go to the VMware download page. We\u2019re running VMware Workstation 15 Player, which weighs in at roughly 150MB. After you\u2019ve downloaded VMware Workstation Player, run the installer and follow the wizard\u2019s instructions. While you won\u2019t need an Enhanced Keyboard Driver right away, it\u2019s better to have it. Follow the installation wizard\u2019s prompts to restart Windows.<\/p>

Now it\u2019s time to pick a Linux operating system of your own choice. Some Linux distributions are more suited to virtualization than others. Virtual machines run all 32-bit and 64-bit distributions. However, Linux distros for ARM architecture (such as the Raspberry Pi) cannot be run under VMware.<\/p>

It\u2019s time to start building your Linux virtual machine.<\/p>

Once the Linux ISO is downloaded, then may begin customizing the\u00a0Virtual Machine in Windows<\/a>. To begin, open VMware Workstation Player. Below are the steps:\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. Select Create a New Virtual Machine.<\/li>
  2. Installer disc image file is the default option.<\/li>
  3. To find an ISO file, click Browse.<\/li>
  4. Select “guest” OS, press Next.<\/li>
  5. Choose Linux as the type of guest operating system.<\/li>
  6. Select the OS from the Version.<\/li>
  7. Press Next to another page and insert the Virtual Machine name.<\/li>
  8. Check the storage location and make any necessary adjustments.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    It’s time to construct the virtual machine now that the operating system has been chosen and configured.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    1. If necessary, change the Maximum disc size under Specify Disk Capacity.<\/li>
    2. Select Split the virtual drive into numerous files to allow migrating the VM to a new PC as simple as possible.<\/li>
    3. Following, confirm the data on the next screen by clicking Next.<\/li>
    4. Click Back if something doesn’t look right, otherwise click Finish.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
