VMware Workstation Player, commonly referred to as VMware Player, is a free, lightweight virtualization software that allows you to run multiple operating systems (OS) on a single physical machine. It’s designed for personal use and provides a way to create and run virtual machines (VMs) on your computer.
Key Features of VMware Player:
- VMware Player lets you create virtual machines that can run different operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.) alongside your primary OS. You can run them simultaneously without needing to reboot or partition your hard drive.
- It supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and others. It’s useful if you want to test software, run older applications, or explore different environments without altering your main system.
