Using VMware inside Win10 VM


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I am currently trying to get VMware to work inside a Win10 VM on Unraid.

Whenever I try and start a VM inside VMware I get the error "VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)".

I think this is because it is saying I don't have virtualisation enabled in my BIOS.

I am using the OVMF Bios for the Win10 VM. 

 

Can anyone help in solving this? 

I am using VMware inside the Win10 VM due to work reasons, we have VM's with software on, that I can't install on the Win10 VM due to licencing. 

I could make a second VM up in Unraid, for the work VM, but then I can't use the VMware unity feature. If a VNC client has a feature similar to unity then that would work. 

 

I have tried VMware player and VMware workstation pro. 

 

Spec's:

Unraid 6.8.1

Ryzen 1600, cores 1-5 and their threads passed through to Win10 VM. 

32Gb RAM. 24Gb to VM

 

Thanks
