Anyway, since this Windows 11 version
22463.1000.210917-1503.RS_PRERELEASE_CLIENTMULTI_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO
Windows 11 does not install on VMware Player, if certain requirements are not met.
Not sure what the exact requirements are for a VMware computer since News about this are not explicit. It was good to test it, though. Impressions were:
- still, if you want to Shut it Down, you have to press Start Button
- computer management is changed to be more abstract, Settings is moved to somewhere else. Otherwise, it is the same: you have Computer Management icon and 20 other icons where you do computer management
- HD screens, typical for last 10 years, have more width than height. The great idea of Windows 11 desktop was to make the usable height even smaller by putting menus in the bottom. Rumors are that you cannot affect this at all. Nice, it keeps the desktop much consistent between users. You can of course change all your applications not to require such height, over 1000 pixels - that is what software companies are for.
- Icons are now much better. The great idea of Windows 10 was to introduce elementary-school-level-black-and-white icons. Now they are SO MUCH better in Windows 11, because they use colors in them. Great development! However, even Ancient Egypt hieroglyphs had colors and thus it is not exactly a new development for icons.
The great thing is that VMware Player and sometimes the computer, does not hang when shutting down Windows 11 system, like it sometimes does when using Windows 10 (discussed in length elsewhere on this Forum). But wait for the final version of Windows 11! I don't, because it doesn't run on a computer with very decent performance.
