Hello Robert from Oregon! This is a publically accessible messageboard so you may want to remove your phone number from your question. Do you know what processor youre running? Assuming its Intel or AMD you may just need to enable Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI in your BIOS

Hi,


VMware Workstation 15.5.1 does not run on a 32 bit host operating system.

See also: Host System Requirements for Workstation Pro

The last version that supported a 32 bit host OS was VMware Workstation 12.

A Workstation version that was retired several years ago.

See this page for the details:

VMware Compatibility Guide - Guest/Host Search

The last download for that is here: VMware Workstation 12.5.9

Edit: Seems I was wrong on what the last version was that ran on a 32 bit host OS (32-bit host OS support ). Sorry, I forget these kind of details after a few years.
