Slow Aero on high-end machine (Win7)

Hey guys, you might remember my "Aero won't work" post from 2016.

Well, I recently got a gaming machine! Specs here:

CPU: AMD FX-8300 Eight Core CPU 3.3GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
GFX: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5
Board: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P AM3+ Socket
OS: Windows 10 Pro Creators Update x64

Ok, this computer is very good and never lags. I installed Windows 7 on VMware Workstation Pro 12.5 and the performance is good, but when I enable aero it just lags down

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
RAM: 4 GB
Cores: 1 processor, 4 cores. Total = 4 cores
Video memory: 2GB
Virtualization settings: CPU counters and AMD-V/RVI are enabled
