yes there is actually a setting when you do a custom setup for new VM. I prefer this over having to edit the VM file to add the "efi" firmware info.
Thanks. What I don't understand is why WS 10.x still alive, isn't supposed Workstation 11.0.0 Build-2305329 supersedes 10.0.4 Build-2249910 ? I'm lol
Already know that, just asking for the main reason they're maintaining two different versions of it. If that's the only reason then it's fine, good to know.
It's completely normal for a released product to keep receiving updates/fixes separately from the latest version, so that you are not forced to upgrade to get fixes. Windows 7 still gets updates when Windows 8 is out. Same deal here: WS 10 will keep getting updates even though WS 11 is out. I don't understand what's so surprising about this.
It's surprising for me. I'm speaking of my own so for me it's surprising. In my own concept huge / important releases such as an OS like Windows (the way it is commercialized to a vast amount of users) is understandable but not for VMware. For me VMware is not as important or huge as Windows hence that's the surprise. But good to know I had a misconception.
VMware Workstation is targeted at business/enterprise users and is sold to them for a pretty penny. Upgrading from 10 to 11 is not free either, but costs quite a bit. You can't tell someone who has just bought version 10 that "sorry, only version 11 will get critical bug fixes, pay up and upgrade or your bugs won't be fixed".
