It may be downloaded, somewhere around here.
VMWare have some nice automations on their stuff. For example,
when I resized that container and made it bigger for a second
OS installation, it seemed to have moved the secondary GPT
table up to the new end of storage, without being asked.
I think there may be a compaction feature worth owning as well.
On VirtualBox, some of that is to be done manually.
But most of my machines are in VirtualBox. The interface is
a lot easier, and not cranky. I only do Windows 11 work in
the VMWare one.
The least cranky interface ever, was Conectix VirtualPC, which
did not bother with identifiers and preventing you from mixing
"this with that". With VirtualPC, you were in control. It
took Microsoft a while to ruin that :-) The Windows 7 version
has Terminal Services in the graphics stack, and is busted for
ordinary VirtualPC work. Graphics were glitchy, and I even had
a crash due to the graphics one day. The WinXP feature worked
just fine, by comparison.
