I'm in a class that requires I use VMWare virtual machines, however it's running very slow. I had a meeting with my professor to try and trouble shoot why but we both can't seem to find a reason.

I got plenty of ram, I shut down a few programs that seemed to be causing my computer to run slow and made sure the VMs were in my actual drive not the cloud but is still very sluggish.

    Make sure you disable hyper visor mitigation from the advanced settings.

    I've seen other people say this elsewhere but it seems like they took away the option to do this on the newest version of VMWare. At least I don't see it anymore.

        I had to find a download first and VMWare seems to be really cagey about where the fuck you can find their software

          You can definitely find an older version of pro on some pirate sites, or if you're just looking for player it looks like they have it here
