I got this error, saying my AMD-V is incompatible with VMware. Looks like must use Intel VT-x.

For Hyper-V Enabled Hosts
CPU Requirements:

Intel Sandy Bridge or a newer CPU
AMD Bulldozer or a newer CPU

which AMD CPU are you using right now?

Oh, I see, so old AMD CPU is not supported...... I thought it affects all AMD.

from VMware forum, they raise the system requirement for v17.

use intel less trouble :X

use Virtualbox, or docker
VMWare Player has been crapping it self for months

Can VMware Player emulate ARM on a x86 CPU?

I know QEMU can (with qemu-system-arm or qemu-system-aarch64). But from what I googled, VirtualBox cannot emulate ARM on a x86 CPU.

Intel is leader in this field, AMD is still catching up

VMware cant, just forget about it. Virtualbox is x86 exclusive.

you can try other GUI that build around qemu

Check your mainboard BIOS/UEFI configurations and look for :-

1. VT-x
2. VT-d

Enable both of these features.

If the above is not available, then the system unable to support any virtualization irregardless which Virtualization Platform you use (eg. VMWare, VirtualBox, Xen, Hyper-V etc.).

If the above requirements are enabled, then you might need to use an older version that supports your current CPU. As you are using "VMWare WorkStation 17 Player" maybe you try older version like "16" instead.

Note: you cannot run 2 virtualizations platform together on a single host (eg. both VMWare & VirtualBox), this will crashes the host due to resources prioritization & usages.

Hope this helps...

If your pc has enough ram, you can run both but just forget VMWare player, it hasnt been working correctly for months, it throws more error than Virtualbox/Hyper-v and the error is usually unfixable.

Virtualbox works great and works fine together with WLS
i could probably add hyper-v too

win7 running vmware 16 on amd am4 platform, no problem.

Last time intel king but today the king is AMD

I believe your BIOS settings got some feature not enable. You need to check your BIOS.

So far I don't use Player so I not sure is there anything different in term of system requirements. My old laptop running on Intel 5th-Gen processor is working fine and also my AMD Ryzen 5's desktop also working fine.

Would suggest Intel for compatibility and stability.

If WSL/Hyper-V and Virtualbox works fine with AMD
there is something very wrong with VMware itself,
it's not related to CPU.

While Intel was once considered the preferred choice for virtualization, AMD has made significant strides to close the gap. The choice between them for virtualization now depends on your specific need and workloads. Consider factors like CPU cores, single-thread performance, power consumption, and cost...

Where buy cheap chip ?
