Will not install Windows 10 Pro

I have VMware running on my Home 10 OS, but on my Pro 10 OS I get this error:

"Could not write value Close to key

\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VMware\Performance.

Verify that you have sufficient access to that key,

or contact your support personnel."

I ran Player .exe as Administrator and this is a stand alone PC running Windows 10 Pro 20H2. All update done.

@NuTekComputers
So Player on Windows 10 Home is working Ok, but Player on Windows 10 Pro is giving you a problem?

What’s the version of Workstation Player on both Windows systems?
