First, make sure that the virtual machine is powered off. Next, open the folder where the virtual machine located in your hard drive. A quick tip: Right-click on the virtual machine in VMware and select the "Open VM Directory’ option to open the VM folder. hitps:windowsloop.comenter-bios-setup-n-vmuware! 542orzi202e 12:17 1B B+ 99 5 © [] > TiePC > OD Downloads (>) > VME > 1909 Name .
