I'd expect that Windows preserves these files too, but I can't tell you for sure.

What settings were you thinking about?

Your VMs are just files so as long as you have a copy of them you can add them back to your VM library after reinstalling Workstation.

So, if take a screenshot of the list of VMs

And note their location in HDD

Should be able to handle opening easily, correct...?

In case of the Windows version, several settings - like the inventory - are stored in files under %APPDATA%/VMware (e.g. inventory.vmls).

If RESET WINDOWS 10
preserve the my files choose during reset
Normally VMs should appear after a Vmware Workstation pro fresh install?
