    Try a clean install. Boot from the DVD and install from scratch.

    Mine keeps telling me that the hardware isn't supported.

    It's a bug. It only happens when installing or upgrading from within Windows desktop. A clean install should fix it.

    Just the usual default ones in VMWare. Gave 8 GB RAM and 8 cores (I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT). After installation, be sure to install VMWare Tools to enable at least basic hardware acceleration.
