Hmm, it would appear I can't do that with the VM player - I have to fork
out £160 quid for the paid version.

How about VirtualBox:

It's a Yorkshireman's favourite price :-)


I used to use that, Jeff, but I had some problems with a new version
which persistently failed/locked up on here, so I switched to VMware,
which is much better and easier to use. However, the free version is a
cut down version, and doesn't have many of the more complex functions. I
only run test systems on it, so it's no big deal if everything goes
thingies up like Windows 10 did, but a quicker restart would have been
nice in this case.

Yes, a second honeymoon would be a good idea, dear. With whom?
