WMWare Workstation Pro detecting wrong OS

[woodgeek]

I'm attempting to create a Windows Server 2019 VM. VMWare is telling me that the OS is Windows 10, even though I just downloaded Server 2019 Build 1909 from Microsoft this morning. Any suggestions? This happened in 15 Pro and 15 Player.

Don't use Easy Install - just use custom and manually select the Guest OS.

Likely, Workstation 15 is unaware of the existence of Server 2019.

And BTW, don't post screenshots of your product key
