    <description>&lt;P&gt;1. Are you asking if you can take a WS16 VM and run it on WS12? Or something else?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have some questions:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Does Vmware Player 12 compatible with Vmware Workstation 16 virtual machine data?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Why the file size of&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;VMware-player-full-16.2.1.exe is 580MB, but&amp;nbsp;Vmware Player 12 is only 78MB？&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Re. size.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;VMware Player 16 has a lot more on board than VMware Player 12.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To name just a few things:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- it has VIX pre-installed&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- It has all the VMware Tools iso images&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- It has container support like Workstation Pro.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- It has REST API support.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;--&lt;BR /&gt;Wil&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. I want to build a portable and compatible virtual machine in Vmware software. But I only have Vmware Workstation 16 ion my PC, so I want to make a operation system in my Vmware Workstation 16, but I don't know the backwards compatibility of vmdk files in Vmware player 16.&lt;BR /&gt;I don't need advanced features, it's ok if system can run normally in Vmware player 16.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/274885"&gt;@scott28tt&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So you'd have to create a VM using hardware version 12 for it to be backward compatible with Workstation 12:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003746" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003746&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't know how you do that with Workstation Player, but it can be done in Workstation Pro:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/16.0/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-FD035240-E960-411F-9A58-4A6E3B9376A2.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/16.0/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-FD035240-E960-411F-9A58-4A6E3B9376A2.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There's some extra guidance in the Workstation Player documentation on how to make a VM more "mobile":&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Player-for-Windows/16.0/com.vmware.player.win.using.doc/GUID-42DF7221-E5B9-49B3-98FB-2E55945CB817.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Player-for-Windows/16.0/com.vmware.player.win.using.doc/GUID-42DF7221-E5B9-49B3-98FB-2E55945CB817.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope that helps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
