I had bought VMware Workstation 7 many years ago and was using it since 2015 on a host system running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The guest system was Windows XP 32bit. Everything worked fine until I upgraded my host to Windows 10.

I had to remove VMware Workstation 7 because Windows 10 said it wasn't compatible!

Ok. Since the only thing I wanted is keep using the old VM that was created with VMware Workstation 7 I downloaded the latest VMware Player 16. However it refuses to run my old VM that was created many years ago with VMware Workstation 7!

I was also wondering what will happen to my old license of VMware Workstation 7, if I can upgrade to a later version maybe.

But my main concern is how do I run that old VM created under VMware Workstation 7?
