Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Chris Moore]

Hi Scott,
I successfully upgraded to windows 10 on vmware fusion 8.  I followed the steps 
mentioned in this thread.  One important thing they left out was to make sure 
that you need to first run windows update until you are fully up-to-date.  This 
may take several hours.

I was attempting to upgrade from a previous version.  I’m starting to think 
like you though, maybe I should just buy a copy of win 10 and start fresh.

It really does sound like this is a lot of work, wouldn’t it be easier to just

It may be an issue with your screen reader video driver. To get it to work you 
will need tl either wait for the update to roll to you or manually uninstall 
the video driver and then run upgrade assisrNt. I don't think it has anything 
to do with VMware fusion.

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Grant]

Hi Scott,

I believe this article applies to installing Windows 10 overtop of Windows 7, 8 
or 8.1. So I’m not sure it applies in this case? Still, I am downloading the 
ISO file right now and will try installing overtop to see if the process works. 
I’ve uninstalled VMWare Tools. Will keep you posted.

In terms of the product key though, that definitely shouldn’t be mandatory to 
complete the installation. Have you tried just hitting the next button? 
Assuming Windows is already activated, you should be able to continue using 
your existing license. The procedure when installing Windows 10 on a device 
that’s already been activated using a Digital entitlement (even if the drive is 
freshly formatted) is to skip entry of the product key during setup.

Best,

Grant

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Scott Granados]

Hi, let me say up front when it comes to windows I’m less than useless.:) so I 
may be not taking a step that’s obvious.  I’m thinking I should get better and 
caught up with windows just so I don’t lose the skills entirely which is my 
motivation here to give this a shot.

First of all, sorry for omitting the link, here you go.

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US=displayKC=2126929
 
<https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US=displayKC=2126929>

Let me know if you take home from that article the same thing I did.
 So on your second point, I was filling in the key I had from the first 
install thinking something had to be in the field to make the next button 
functional.  Is there another procedure from when that key box appears?  Yes, 
it is a licensed copy that I set up with a key I’m upgrading from.

Let me know if you make heads or tales out of the article and if you get 
further.  I’ll play around with the setup screen again and see if there is a 
way to pass on entering the key.

Thanks  for your input, I always learn something reading these fusion threads.

Thank you
Scott

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Grant]

Hi Scott,

If your virtual machine is activated using a digital entitlement, can’t you 
just skip entering the product key? That’s how it normally works when 
reinstalling on the same device.

If you have to clean install to do the upgrade on a separate VM, then I guess 
that’s another matter. I have to admit, I don’t see and can’t locate the 
article you’ve found on installing the anniversary update in Fusion.

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Scott Granados]

So my problem is when I run the setup it wants a key code.  I have a windows 
key code for my existing version but not for the new upgrade.  I’m not using 
the free upgrade manager though as that fails the display test.

Does that make sense?

Thank you
Scott

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Scott Granados]

So the official VMWare position is to
Shutdown your VM
Change the type from windows 7 or 8 to win10.
Boot the VM, remove vm tools.
Then install the upgrade to win10 using the media creation tool.
Then reboot, reinstall vmtools and you’re done.

I haven’t gotten the steps to work yet but that’s direct from the VM KB article.

You created your VM from new media though right, not using the upgrade tool

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Scott Granados]

And this is why we should google before we post.

This is entirely wrong.

The video driver is the problem.  Fusion’s driver is windows 10 ready but is 
misidentified.  There’s a good KB article on the fusion site that details the 
need to use the ISO or media creation tool to upgrade.  So far I haven’t gotten 
this to work but I do know the error you’re seeing is a known quantity and a 
function of all virtualized environments, not just fusion.

Good luck

RE: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Simon Fogarty]

Oh and you need to make sure you have installed the vm tools  
These give you better interaction between your vm and host machines as well as 
give you better / higher resolution settings etc.

It may be an issue with your screen reader video driver. To get it to work you 
will need tl either wait for the update to roll to you or manually uninstall

Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Noel Romey]

It may be an issue with your screen reader video driver. To get it to work you 
will need tl either wait for the update to roll to you or manually uninstall 
the video driver and then run upgrade assisrNt. I don't think it has anything 
to do with VMware fusion.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update compatibility with VMWare Fusion

[Grant]

Hi all,

I hope that this isn’t off-topic, but has anybody had success installing the 
Windows 10 Anniversary Update in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine?

I am using a Macbook Air mid-2015 (max specifications) and am receiving an 
error stating that my display is not compatible with Windows 10.

I am currently running Windows 10 build 10586 (the latest non-Insider version). 
The update is being rolled out gradually and wasn’t showing up for me, so I 
started the installation from this link: 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/12387/windows-10-update-history?ocid=update_setting_client

During the process a compatibility check of my PC (i.e. virtual machine) was 
done and it was at that point that I received the error).

I’d love to hear thoughts and suggestions if folks have them.

Thanks!

Grant
