В данной статье покажем как установить Windows 10 (да и в принципе любую версию Windows) на виртуальную машину VMware Workstation Pro. С помощью виртуальной машины у Вас будет возможность изолированно использовать систему, не опасаясь за основную, к примеру тестировать различные приложения.
1) Скачать VMware Workstation Pro можете с официального сайта. Бесплатный триальный период — 30 дней.
2) Далее, определитесь какую технологию виртуализации Вы будете использовать, аппаратную или программную. Аппаратная работает существенно быстрее по своему отклику, но ее нужно включить. Сделать это можете в Биосе, в зависимости от Вашего процессора Вам нужно будет включить «Intel Virtualization Technology», либо «AMD Virtualization Technology», в каком меню Биоса ее найти уточнайте в инструкции под Вашу материнскую плату. Примерные меню в Intel и AMD.
3) После скачивания и установки приложения VMware Workstation Pro запускаем его нажимаем Edit => Preferences.
В меню Workspace Вы можете выбрать месторасположение виртуальной машины. Можете оставить как есть, либо поменять на Ваше желаемое (к примеру на другой диск). После выбора места, нажимаем Ок.
Теперь создадим саму виртуальную машину. Открываем главное окно приложения и нажимаем на Create a New Virtual Machine.
Выбираем первый пункт «Обычная установка».
Далее, пропускаем выбор дистрибутива, его мы выберем позднее.
Укажите желаемую ОС, в нашем случае это будет Windows 10 x64.
Задайте название и местоположение (можете оставить по умолчанию) виртуальной машины.
Следующий пункт -это выбор между:
1. Сохранение диска в виде одного файла.
2. Разделение диска на несколько файлов.
Если не планируете переносить виртуальную машину на другой ПК, то для увеличения производительности рекомендуем выбрать первый вариант.
В следующем окне нажимаем Customize Hardware.
Настроим производительность нашей виртуальной машины. Первым пунктом будет выбор размера оперативной памяти, которая будет выделяться для работы виртуальной машины, само-собой, чем больше, тем лучше. Выбирайте ее исходя из Вашего реального объема ОЗУ на ПК, так, чтобы при работе ВМ Ваш ПК не завис.
Следующий пункт количество ядер, которое будет выделяться для работы ВМ. А так же актируйте аппаратную виртуализацию, если Вы ее активировали в Биосе. Если нет, то не отмечайте этот пункт.
Теперь уже выбираем нужный Вам дистрибутив Windows, который предварительно был скачан и сохранен на Вашем ПК. Если у Вас нет дистрибутива, то скачать оригинальные дистриубтивы Windows можете из нашего каталога. Мы на примере установим Windows 10 Pro.
Настройки сети, можете оставить как есть, либо сделать настройку нужную Вам.
Настройки разрешения. Чем больше, тем лучше. Так же, можете выбрать объем графической памяти выделенной для ВМ. (так же можете оставить все по умолчанию).
Последним окном нажимаем Finish.
Теперь можем запустить установку системы нажав — Power on this virtual machine.
Когда появится надпись Press any key to boot from CD or DVD — нажмите Enter.
Далее начнется обычная установка Windows 10, она ничем не отличается от обычной. С процессм установки Windows 10 Вы можете ознакомиться в нашей прошлой статье.
После установки системы, когда она покажет рабочий стол — нажмите правой кнопкой мыши на вкладку Вашей действующей ВМ => Settings
Переходим во вкладку CD/DVD и снимаем галку с Connected, чтобы у нас загружался «жесткий диск», т.е сама система, а не снова ее установка при каждом включении ВМ.
У нас установилась обычная Windows 10 Pro, которая изолирована от основной системе и на ней можно безопасно тестировать приложения, и это не затронит основную систему. Но ее так же необходимо активировать как и обычную Windows. Приобрести оригинальные ключи активации от 1490 ₽ можете в нашем каталоге. Моментальная доставка ключа в автоматическом режиме сразу после оплаты на Ваш Email.
In today’s technological environment, running legacy operating systems on modern hardware is challenging. However, it can be a rewarding experience. Additionally, virtualization software such as VMware Workstation 17 Pro offers solutions. This software helps those who want to rediscover Windows 2000.
In this article, I will explain how to install Windows 2000 Professional SP4 using VMware Workstation 17 Pro. Also, I will show you how to run it on Windows 10 & 11 64-bit. Whether you want to delve into computer history or want to use legacy applications, this VM guide will help you.
How to Set Up Windows 2000 Professional SP4 on Windows 10 using VMware Workstation 17
Microsoft released the Windows 2000 operating system on February 17, 2020, for personal, laptop, and server computers.
Originally, Windows 2000 was called NT 5.0, but this name was changed to 2000 on October 27, 1998. Another common name is Windows 2K. The Windows 2000 system, which was the predecessor of NT 4.0, was fundamentally reliable but received a lot of criticism for having more than 63,000 flaws in this system.
The development of Windows 2000 was more geared towards corporate business computers and offered a more secure Internet connection compared to Windows 95 and 98.
Key features of the Windows 2000 operating system include FAT16, FAT32, NTFS file system, EFS, directory service, DFS, ASR, and RAID. In addition, services such as RAS, VPN, RADIUS, IIS, Active Directory, and RIS have been developed for data communication.
Additionally, Windows 2000 is the first Microsoft system to include the Guest account, which provides for user accounts and restrictions on accessing the system for other users.
Users who want to use the Win200 system, whose support was terminated on July 13, 2010, can now install it on a computer with old hardware. If this is not possible, they can run this old operating system on their physical computers using virtualization software such as VMware Workstation.
How to Create a New Virtual Machine for Windows 2000
If you want to experience using the Windows 2000 system, you don’t need an old PC. After installing the VMware program on your computer with the virtualization feature, you can create a new virtual machine and use this operating system on your host virtually.
In order to install Windows 2000 with VMware, you must have the system’s ISO image file. Or, if you have a physical CD/DVD installation media, you can also install it. However, download the image file from your computer, as installing the ISO file on the virtual computer will provide more performance.
Step 1
After installing the VMware 17 Pro software on your computer, run it and click Create a New Virtual Machine from the options on the program’s homepage.
Then, when the VM wizard opens, as in the image below, select the Custom (Advanced) option and click the Next button.
Step 2
By default, Workstation 17.x is selected in the VMware hardware compatibility window because the latest version of the virtualization program is installed on your system. If you are using an old VMware version, you will see the hardware version of that version here.
Change the hardware version to Workstation 10.x so that you can run the Windows 200 system entirely correctly, and then click Next.
Step 3
If you have a CD/DVD installation media, as we mentioned above, you should continue with the Installer Disc option in this window. However, since you downloaded the ISO file to your computer, please select I will install the operating system later in this step and click Next.
Step 4
In the Guest operating system selection window, you must first select the manufacturer and then the version of the system you will install. Therefore, tick Microsoft in Guest Operating System and select Windows 2000 Professional version in Version.
Step 5
In this window, you can change the name of the virtual machine you will install, and you can also select the location to install it via the Browse button. If you have an old computer, since installing the VM on an external SSD disk will be convenient for both performance and data security, change the location and click Next to continue.
Or, if you have a more recent computer and your disk is SSD or NVMe, you can choose to install your virtual system on the host disk.
Step 6
In the processor configuration window, configure 1 processor and 1 core number for the Windows 2000 system. If you configure more CPU/Core values, the VM may not run properly.
Step 7
Configure 1 GB RAM size in the memory setting window for the virtual machine and click Next.
Step 8
Select NAT for the network adapter of the virtual PC on Workstation Pro and click Next.
Step 9
In the I/O Controller types window, select BusLogic to operate the virtual disk more efficiently and click Next.
Step 10
Select the type of virtual disk as SCSI and continue with Next.
Step 11
Since you will be installing a clean Windows 2000 system, select the Create a New Virtual Disk option in the Select a Disk window. If you have a disk backup that you have installed before, you can add an existing disk in this window.
Step 12
Adjust the capacity of the virtual disk according to the operations you will perform on the system and the applications you will use. Here, you can choose the recommended disk size for Windows 2000, 8GB, or specify a higher size. Also, store the virtual disk as a single file on your host or external HDD.
Step 13
In the “specify disk file” window, you can change the name and location of your virtual disk but continue with the default configuration.
Step 14
Click the Customize Hardware button in the window containing the summary information of the settings you have configured for the virtual machine.
Step 15
After clicking on the Processor device, enable the virtualization feature by ticking all the options in the Virtualization Engine section.
- Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI
- Virtualize CPU Performance Counters
Step 16
To add the Windows 2000 ISO file to the CD/DVD device, click the Browse button after enabling the Use ISO Image File option. Select the ISO image file you downloaded to your computer and click the Open button.
Step 17
In order to use your USB devices in your virtual system, select the 2.0 compatibility type from the USB Controller device settings.
Step 18
For the Display setting, enable the 3D Graphics feature and do not change the display scaling setting.
Step 19
After preparing the virtual machine, close the summary window and proceed to the installation steps.
Step 20
Click Power on this virtual machine to run the Windows 2000 Professional virtual machine.
How to Install Windows 2000
After you prepare the Windows 2000 virtual machine, when you run it, the system will boot from the ISO image file you added to the VM. When you see the installation wizard, you can now start the installation without any problems.
Step 1
Wait for a while when the Windows 2000 Setup screen opens, as in the image below.
Step 2
On the Welcome screen, you can switch to the relevant screen by pressing the R key to repair your system. In this article, press the Enter key as we will install the Win2000 system from scratch.
Step 3
Accept the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional license agreement on your virtual computer.
Step 4
Here, you can see the size you assigned to the virtual disk in the steps to prepare the virtual PC. Press C to create a new Partition on the disk.
Step 5
Press Enter to accept the automatically set value for the virtual disk.
Step 6
After creating the C partition on the disk, press Enter to start the installation.
Step 7
Press Enter on the “Format the partition using NTFS file system” option to configure and format the disk file format as NTFS.
Step 8
Wait while the setup wizard formats the disk. This will take very little time on the VM, but on a physical computer, it may take some time.
Step 9
Wait while the setup wizard copies the Windows 2K system files to disk.
Step 10
Your virtual computer will restart after the time specified by the timer has elapsed, but press Enter to reboot your system manually.
Step 11
Wait while your Windows 2K virtual system boots up.
Step 12
Wait while Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Built on NT Technology) starts up.
Step 13
It is reported that some information about your virtual computer will be collected for installation when the Win2K setup wizard opens, so click Next to continue.
Step 14
Wait while the setup wizard installs the drivers for your virtual PC devices, such as the keyboard and mouse. At this step, the screen of your virtual PC may flicker, so do not turn off your system.
Step 15
Configure the region and location of your system according to where you live and click Next.
Step 16
Type a user account name for your virtual system and continue.
Step 17
Enter the product key of the Windows 2000 Professional operating system correctly and click Next.
Step 18
In this window, type a computer name and also set an administrator password for your system.
Step 19
Configure the date and time settings of your virtual system according to the country and location you live in.
Step 20
Wait while Windows installs the system and network components.
Step 21
Configure the network settings to Typical for Windows 2000 and continue.
Step 22
If you are using the Active Directory service on a server in your network structure, you can add your virtual system to the domain environment. Otherwise, configure WORKGROUP for default local network settings.
Step 23
Wait while the setup wizard configures your system’s start menu items, registry components, and other settings.
Step 24
After successfully installing the Windows system, click Finish to close the window. In this step, your virtual PC will restart.
Step 25
Wait while Win2000 Pro starts up.
Step 26
