VMWare Fusion Pro 8.5 Font is fuzzy on Windows 10 VM, but it is sharp on Remote Desktop

Hi all, I have Macbook Pro Retina Display with MacOS Sierra in it. I installed VMWare Fusion Pro 8.5 to install VM (Windows 10).

In Windows 10 VM System Setting > Display:

I uncheck Use full resolution for Retina Display and the font in Windows 10 VM is fuzzy (still readable).

Then from Windows 10 VM, I run Remote Desktop Connection to connect to Windows 2008 R2.

Surprisingly, all fonts at Remote Desktop Windows 2008 is absolutely sharp and normal.

How come the font at Windows 10 VM is fuzzy, while the font at Windows 2008 R2 (which is running from Windows 10) is sharp?

Anyone can advise how to make the font at Windows 10 VM as sharp as Windows 2008 R2 at Remote Desktop?

Note:

The reason I uncheck Use full resolution for Retina Display is that I need to run a legacy application.

So my temporary solution to run the legacy application is to run it from Remote Desktop of a VM (which is not ideal).
