Connect to a physical windows host

Dear all,

I don't want virtualization Smiley Happy

I currently run a Parallels Windows on my Mac but I want to move my Windows stuff to a dedicated headless machine.

As the machine is packed with consumer-grade hardware (especially a GTX1070 GPU) and it doesn't have lots of BIOS options (all the VT options are hidden, I don't know why.. it's a MSI Trident 3), I - again - don't want virtualization. I just want to run fusion and connect it NOT to a VM running on my machine but to the physical host.

Currently I use Remote Desktop but it doesn't give a seamless experience compared to Fusion.

Is this possible?

I just installed the Fusion Pro Trial on my Mac and VMWare Workstation on the Windows machine, but Fusion Pro only gives options for creating machines or connecting to Vhosts

I'm a little confused. So you want to use VMware Fusion to connect to and manage a Windows physical machine??
