One, for work or learning needs, sometimes we need to have two computers for operation and simulation learning. For economic reasons, the best option is to install a virtual machine on this machine and then install the system you want on the virtual machine, which can be Windows XP, Windows 7,linux system, and so on.
This is where VMware Workstation, the virtual machine with the most contacts in life, is. When we successfully install the Windows XP system on this virtual machine, if we want to share files or data quickly and easily between the local host and the virtual machine, it won't work if we want to paste the copy directly or drag the file. So one of the easiest ways to do this is to install VMware Tools on the virtual machine VMware Workstation Windows XP system, and when the installation is successful, it is possible to paste the copy and drag the file share between the two systems. The procedures and methods for installation are as follows:
1. Click on the virtual machine, pop up the window, then click "Install VMware Tools".
2. The following dialog box will pop up and click Next.
3. The pop-up window will prompt you to choose the type of installation, personal preference is OK.
4. Click Install.
5. Pop up the window that is installing the process.
6.
7. When you get here, the pop-up window shows that the installation is complete.
8. When you complete the installation of VMware Tools, you are automatically prompted to restart. Just click OK.
Once you have completed the installation of VMware Tools, you can easily share information in the two system homes.
