Hello,
I'm unable to install VMWare workstation 9.0 (or any other version) on my laptop, getting error as below
Error: This Product may not be installed on a computer that has Microsoft HyperV installed.
Following is my configuration:
Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz
RAM: 12.0 GB
OS: Windows 11 Home
I checked windows features and confirmed that HyperV is not installed. I even tried to enable the feature and then disable it, restarted multiple times still no luck.
I was able to install on the same machine before, the issue is happening after I formatted my machine and tried to install again.
Please suggest.
Hi,
Apart from Workstation 9 not being supported at all... this quote:

Sadly doesn't mean that Hyper-V isn't enabled. It almost certainly is enabled, even when it is unchecked down there.
There's a variety of changes you have to make in order to disable Hyper-V completely.
It is probably one of the most common issues for VMware Workstation in this forum nowadays.
where user bluefirestorm gives all the details you need to know for addressing this.
edit: Forgot to mention that VMware Workstation 16 does work with Hyper-V enabled, but some features - such as nested virtualisation - are not supported.
