Tips

  • Take note of the Product Key and download the software. Save it somewhere where you will find it.
  • Save your software somewhere where you will find it later. The “Downloads” library seems like a good place.

Warnings

  • Installing VMware will more than likely slow down your computer because of the increased memory required. Take note of this and plan accordingly.
