Step 3: After downloading the Microsoft Win8 ISO file to your computer, run the VMware virtualization program.
Step 4: First of all, you must create a new virtual machine on Workstation Pro. To do this, click Create a New Virtual Machine on the program's main screen.
Step 5: In the New Virtual Machine Wizard window, click Next with the Custom (Advanced) option selected.
Step 6: In the #VMware Hardware Compatibility window, select the version (17.x) you installed on your computer, and then click the Next button.
Step 7: In the Guest OS window, select the I will install the operating system later option and click Next.
Step 8: Select the "Windows 8.x x64" version in the Guest Operating System window and click Next.
Step 9: In the Name and Platform window, type a name for your virtual PC and configure the installation location to an external HDD or default location.
Step 10: In the Firmware Type window, select BIOS or UEFI and continue.
Step 11: In the Processor window, configure 1 processor and 4 core quantities for the virtual machine. If your host's hardware performance is high, you can increase the values here.
Step 12: In the Memory window, set a minimum of 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM in order for #Windows8 to run more stable.
Step 13: In the Network Type window, select the Use Bridged Networking or NAT option and click Next. For more information on what a bridged network is: https://www.sysnettechsolutions.com/en/vmware-workstation-bridged-network/

Step 16: In the Select a Disk window, you must create a new disk for a clean installation. Select Create a new virtual disk and click Next.
Step 17: In the Specify Disk Capacity window, configure the size of the virtual disk and check the Store virtual disk option to back up as a single file type instead of multiple files on your host and continue.
Step 18: After creating a new virtual machine for Win8, add the ISO file you downloaded to your computer to the virtual machine.
Step 19: Run the VM by clicking the Power on this virtual machine button and when you encounter the Windows 8 installation screen, install it on the VM as if you were installing it on a physical computer.
Step 20: After installing Windows 8, click on VM / Install VMware Tools from the menu. When the installation wizard opens, click Next and then complete the installation by selecting the installation type as Complete and restart your VM.
Step 21: After installing VMware Tools, you can transfer files between your host and your virtual machine, use the host's hardware or create a Shared Folder.
