Hello all, I use Workstation 15 at home for a VM or two, mainly for class work.  I want to expand some.  As this is for personal use, and I am not wealthy, I would like a recommendation for the cheapest version that will allow me to make multiple server VMs, both Windows and Linux, maybe some devices like switches\routers making a virtual network for my own lab. What would you all suggest?

Hello all, I have a VMware workstation 15 player instance, I have both a W10 and a CentOS VMs present. Both VMs have a similar issue. Full screen does not work properly and I cannot enlarge past 1920x1080 My monitor is 2560x1440, if I hit fullscreen I get letterbox style black bars around the entire image, and if you move a window out, it disappears, like moving it off the side of the monitor. I have tried with and without hardware acceleration, told it to auto detect, tried to manually set the resolution as well.  The VM has 16gb of base ram assigned and 6 processors, and 3gb for video, base system resources are 32gb, 20 cores, and 11gb for video respectively, so there isn't a lack of said resources available. Any thoughts or suggestions?
