I am still using these instructions I got from an older message in this forum I think: From inside the VM using a terminal session I issue the following command cat /dev/zero > wipefile; rm wipefile Shutdown the VM and exit VMware Fusion Execute the following command to defragment the disk (substitute VM name/Disk Name) /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vdiskmanager -d macOS\ 10.15\ 64-bit.vmwarevm/Virtual\ Disk.vmdk Execute the following command to shrink the disk (substitute VM name/Disk Name) /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vdiskmanager -k macOS\ 10.15\ 64-bit.vmwarevm/Virtual\ Disk.vmdk You would need to substitute your VM folder's names in there. I usually navigate to the VM folder so I do not have to type all that out to run the commands. I have had some problems with Big Sur VMs but everything else shrinks.

I tried doing install from the recovery partition and that hung with no progress for 20 minutes so I did this: Make a bootable installer from Apple's standard instructions - https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201372 Create a custom VM for macOS 11 as Fusion does not know 12 yet. Power on the VM. It won't do anything but that's not important right now. Go to USB settings in the VM and check the box for and Connect to VM the Install macOS Monterey USB device. Restart the VM and at least for me the USB installer booted and I was off and running. I have not completed my first install yet but it looks like it will finish.
I checked my Apple GPU Vmx and they are working. They are set for hardware version 18 under compatibility. You should check your compatibility setting?
