Need to work sometime on Windows 7, so I have installed Windows 7 Basic Home, and it keeps nagging every now and then of "Window not Genuine".

debebee Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 use Daz loader mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Personally, I prefer to use a modified VM BIOS/EFI with a SLIC table, or just pass through the real SLIC if the physical BIOS has it (or it has been 'added'). Then use the available keys and certificates to activate 'for real'. Modified BIOS: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/vmware-workstation-12-x-14-x-15-x-pro-player-slp-slic-bios-efi-mod.64693/ Pass through SLIC from physical BIOS: Add the following lines to the VM's .vmx config file acpi.passthru.slic = "TRUE" acpi.passthru.slicvendor = "TRUE" SMBIOS.reflecthost = "TRUE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rok Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 I found and reverted back to DAZ loader. So, far it's working with no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
