How can I create a Windows 10 VM?

When I try to install Windows 10 under VMware Fusion, it gives an error titled "Load driver" with the message "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click OK." This is after downloading a generic Windows 10 x64 ISO from Microsoft, and purchasing a license key for the home edition (but I haven't gotten far enough to enter a purchased home license key).

How can I provide drivers or otherwise pacify Windows 10 so it will install under VMware Fusion? I've seen other discussions but don't know what current data is.

Thanks,

Your .iso file is almost certainly corrupt.  Check its SHA1 or MD5 sums against those given on the Microsoft website, and download it again if necessary.

It's unfortunate that corrupted Windows images fail in this way... The error message is not helpful at all.

Cheers,

Thank you. I downloaded the ISO from Windows 10 ISO and am re-downloading after giving the same answers to the questions.

Is there another ULR I should be downloading from?

Thanks,
