Workstation 15 pro support for AMD Ryzen 9

I'm planning on a system upgrade from Intel I7 to AMD Ryzen 9 3900. Will Workstation 15 pro run on a Win10 system with a AMD Ryzen 9 processor?

According to this  AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Review it

It also looks like the 5950x should be supported. I have SVM enabled in my BIOS settings but when I try to power on a VM, I get a BSOD. Are there any other settings I am missing besides SVM?

I resolved this issue. BSOD stopped happening when I reinstalled VMWare on my OS drive.

What were the steps you took to resolve this? You were able to stay on Workstation 15?

I was able to stick with 15. Initially VMWare was installed on a separate partition. Once I reinstalled it on the same drive that the OS was on, I was able to run and load any VM.
