2 Votes 3385 Views I'm using • VMWare Player 4 • Windows 8 Dev Preview as guest OS • Windows 7 as host OS On my host OS, I have 3 physical monitors. I've set up the guest to have 2 monitors. When I boot into the guest OS, the dual monitor support works great within the VMWare window - i.e. Both monitors are shown side by side within the VMWare window. I can set one to be Metro, the other the desktop, etc. What I'd really like is each monitor in the guest OS to occupy a separate physical monitor, full screen.

Is this possible? Installing windows on mac for gaming. I am unsure about VMWare Player 4, from the amount of responses in the past 3 years I would have to say no, it's not possible.

However, for the sake of Google, the following should help: It is possible under VMWare Player 7 (current version) • Open the virtual machine • Set to full screen • The VMWare toolbar will now be at the top center of the screen. On the left side there should be an icon featuring two overlapping screens. A mouse over will display the 'Cycle Multiple Monitors' caption.

• Click the icon.

VMWare support for multiple monitors? OS: Windows Server 2012. Yes you would have to go to the video settings for the virtual display adapter within vmware. Vmware player 3.

I’ve never been a Mac fan, but I do have to say that our family does have several Apple products in our home, 2 iPads and an iPhone for the kids and my wife. Whether I like to admit it or not they do make a highly polished quality product. It had been an interest of mine recently to run Mac OS X on my powerhouse PC at home, but I wanted it to run as virtual machine. I raked over some sites that stated it was not possible, I found that rather funny I mean how is it not possible doesn’t Mac run on Intel hardware nowadays anyhow? Then I stumbled on this. It does a good job at showing the basic steps, however it doesn’t explain much along the way, I figured it would be good to break this down and explain it.

• Download this (approx. Seagate backup plus mac driver for windows. 6 GB), within this file is a file called Yosemite 10.10 Retail VMware.rar, this needs to be extracted to a location of your choice, preferably onto a SSD.

This rar file contains VMware prepped OS X files (vmx, vmdk) for use with VMware products. • Install VMware Workstation or VMware Player, I chose the Workstation route since I already had it installed. • Confirm VMware Workstation or VMware Player is installed correctly, and close the program. • Download the latest, at the time of writing it is. • Extract the contents of OS X Unlocker onto your computer. OS X Unlocker essentially patches the installed VMware product so Mac OS X can be installed.

It does this modifying some core VMware system files. • Browse to the folder where you extracted OS X Unlocker and Run the following files As Administrator ( win-install.cmd and win-update-tools.cmd) Note: if something goes wrong or you’d like to restore the original files for your VMware application you can run win-uninstall.cmd. • Run VMware Workstation or VMware Player and select Open a Virtual Machine. • Select the Mac OS X 10.9.vmx file and select Open. • Go to Edit virtual machine settings.

Either by right clicking on the Mac OS X 10.9 object on the left side panel or via the tabbed window. • You can keep the default resources if you prefer or bump them up, I personally bumped them up to 8 GB and 2 vCPU. The important option here is Version which is on the Options tab. This needs to be set to Mac OS X 10.7.

This option is not available by default, the OS X Unlocker we ran earlier has exposed this option. If for some reason you don’t see this option, look at re-running the OS X Unlocker steps, it needs to be Run as Administrator. • Now power on the Virtual Machine using Power on this virtual machine or by right clicking and going to Power > Start Up Guest. • The machine will boot up and take you through the OS X setup process, it’s very quick and painless. Once complete it’s now time to install the latest VMware Tools onto the newly created OS X VM. You may have picked up on it when we ran win-update-tools.cmd for OS X Unlocker it pulled down the latest and greatest for us to mount and install. • Right click on the Mac OS X 10.9 VM on the left side and go to Settings.
