Today's graphic card are much more powerful compared to the time when Windows 7 launched. Looks like almost all requirements for good Aero in Windows 7 VM is there: HW12, DX10 support in VM, VM uses GTX 1050 as render device.
I did find some strange settings in your VMX file.
video memory - set it back to recommended 1GB. Setting to 2GB doesn't get you any better performance in Aero; plus the video memory in VM doesn't work the way discrete graphics cards such as Nvidia do.
6096 VM RAM - If you want 6 Gigabytes memory for the VM, this number should be 6144 in the VM Memory Settings
Virtualize CPU Performance Counters - unless you have software to monitor your VM performance, you don't need this setting to be checked in the VM Processor settings.
smBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE" - don't understand why this would be needed unless you want to install software that checks BIOS/EFI vendor signature. This would have been added manually as this parameter isn't there when a VM is created. Suggest you remove this.
