How can I use two virtual machines at the same time?

[ddoimo]

Hi, I want to work with two or more virtual machines at the same time.

Is it possible? How can I do this?

Thanks.

Welcome to the Community,

yes, running multiple VMs at the same time is possible and also very common. All you need are sufficient resources, like memory and CPU.

Do you have a text talking about this? Thank you.

What kind of "text" are you looking for? You can find the official documentation at VMware Workstation Documentation.

I would like a guide, explaining how to do. I looked for in the official documentation, but I could not find.

Thanks. Debora

There are certainly several guides available, but the documentation actually covers all aspects.

In order to run multiple guests, simply create the VM's and install a guest OS, then power them on. That's it. Couldn't be easier, could it?

Seems too easy, but I can't see a bottom: "Use vms simultaneously". I have 3 vms, and if I'm using one, to start another, it's necessary suspend or power off the first one. Did you understand me? I would like to change the machine more easily.

Thanks. Debora.

... it's necessary suspend or power off the first one

Can you please let me know the reason for this? Do you receive any warnings or error messages when you try to power on a second VM?

Which VMware Workstation version do you use, and what are the host's specs (OS, CPU, Memory)?

Today I finally execute simultaneously. What did I do? I clicked with the right button and pressed the button "Open in New Window." And solved the case.

Thank you.
