VFC is designed for the VMware Workstation/Player virtualisation platform. Unlike some virtualisation solutions, this supports the widest range of virtual hardware and legacy operating systems from MS-DOS onwards.
VFC has the following technical requirements:
PC running Windows 7 SP1 or later *
1024x768 display or better
Minimum 100MB free space
VMware Workstation/Player v12 or later †
Hardware meeting VMware minimum requirements:
* It may also possible to run VFC on other UEFI based operating systems with an appropriate Microsoft Windows virtualisation / compatibility tool. We understand that this may work well but are unable to formally support this at this time.
† Please visit https://www.vmware.com/uk/products/workstation-player/workstation-player-evaluation.html to download the free/evaluation version of VMware. On this page, VMware state that “The free version is available for non-commercial, personal and home use. We also encourage students and non-profit organizations to benefit from this offering.”
