There are two steps to prepare before you install the virtual machine. First, install and activate VMware Fusion, if you haven't downloaded VMware Fusion please refer to the previous blog post, app Recommendation II, download VMware Fusion and activate it. Second, download the system image you want to install. Because a win8 virtual machine has been installed, here I use the Win7 image.
After these preparations are complete, open VMware Fusion and the following interface appears (you can also click on the file in the menu bar, new), we choose to install from CD or mirror, click Continue.
Then we choose to use a different disc or disc image below to find the Windows image file you downloaded from the pop-up finder window. Then we click Continue.
Enter the shortcut installation interface here to set the password, account name and so on, the password is not set. Then search the Internet for a product key of the version of Windows you choose, and you can use it just by searching. After the input is complete, click Continue.
Next is the choice of virtual machine installation method, here are two ways, click after he will have a detailed introduction, but do not be blinded by his introduction, mind you choose more independent, because if the choice more seamless there are several problems, first, A wide range of shared files allows you to quickly fill a virtual machine's hard drive, because when you share a folder with your Mac, you'll see it in the Windows virtual machine, as well as the storage. Second, when you delete this virtual machine there is the possibility of deleting the files under the Mac, so here we choose more independent. Of course, this is not to abandon the shared folder, choose More independent, we can still set up a shared folder, I will introduce, so we just need to create a shared folder, and then we want to let the virtual machine to use a copy of the file in it, will greatly save the virtual machine is not much space. so select more independent and click Continue.
we will see the configuration completed interface, here must follow the steps to do, do not directly click the complete button! Click the Finish button it will automatically start the installation, and we have not set up the virtual machine, so first click on custom settings , pop up a dialog box, let us modify the name of the virtual machine and storage place. In general, there is no need to change, he will build a folder called Virtual machine in our Documents folder, and then store our virtual machine. After the modification, wait a few seconds for the virtual machine settings screen to pop up.
Here are the most important steps of virtual machine setup, first we click on the second row of hard disk (SCSI), left and right to adjust the size of the disk, this is for everyone's needs, it is recommended not too small. I usually divide at least 40G or 50G, because I will play games in it. When you are done, click Apply.
note here, after you set up the hard disk, do not point the upper left corner of the Red fork, click Show All. If you accidentally clicked, it's okay to have a small wrench in the menu bar of the Virtual machine window, and then go back with a click. below Click on the first line of the processor and memory, according to your computer's configuration and your needs to choose the number of processor cores and memory size, the following is my Computer configuration and choose to make a reference, my Computer i7 dual core 2.9GHz, memory 8GB, my virtual machine is two processor core, 3GB memory. Note here do not divide too much, because the performance of the virtual machine is built on the Mac, do not understand can go to check the virtual machine away, set too high will not make the virtual machine faster, but will make the virtual machine and Mac are very card. When the settings are complete, click Show All back to the settings screen.
The last thing you need to set up is sharing. Because we previously chose a more independent virtual machine, the shared folder is turned off by default. Here we choose to enable shared folders on the hook, because shared folders will save us time and space and improve efficiency. here we have two choices, the first is to check the folder directly below, if you choose this way, it is best to check the document, because this folder is usually placed in the documentation code, such as smaller. But this method is destined to contain a lot of files for Windows useless Mac system. So here I recommend the second method, that is, click the Middle Plus, we choose the path and then create a folder ourselves, dedicated to virtual machines and Mac sharing, so that not only save a lot of space, but also easy for us to manage the file. Here I create a new name under the document folder called "Win7 Virtual machine shared folder", we notice that the permission is read and write, this is enough, do not select Read-only, so that we can put the files you want to share under the Mac to this folder, the virtual machine can be directly accessed, and the files under the virtual machine are placed in this shared folder and can be accessed under the Mac. (You can completely uncheck the below document, my virtual machine is not checked, I just to demonstrate)All right, here, the settings for the virtual machine are all set to complete. Click on the Red Fork at the top left and click the "Play" button in the Virtual machine window to start the installation. The back is relatively simple, just like the normal installation system. Need to wait patiently.
when you go to the desktop, the virtual machine tool is downloaded, and the virtual machine is automatically restarted, even if the installation is complete.
After rebooting, we can see our shared folders on the desktop.
at this point, the virtual machine installation is complete. Right-click Personalization, bring up the desktop icon, you can use the normal. If reproduced please specify the source: http://blog.csdn.net/u012200908/article/details/42124235
I wish you all a pleasant stay.
