VMware Fusion

I receive this message after, I download a trial VMware Fusion: Unsupported CPU detected. 

The host CPU does not support the necessary hardware requirements VMware Fusion.

Click Quit to stop installation.

If you proceed with installation, you might not be able to launch virtual machines on this host.

 I need help, what do I do?

Thanks

Your machine is too old by three years for fusion.  But it's also too old for Catalina per https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210222 so I'm not sure how you have that configuration running in the first place.
