I have made a number of videos where I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a VMware Virtual Machine for evaluation. In this video I will instead look at installing a Windows 10 Developer Enterprise (50 Day) Virtual Machine using VMware Player and a Ubuntu 20.04 host.

This is a bit more complicated as a number of perquisites are required. In addition the vm services used for a Windows 10 guest need to be enabled when Ubuntu 20.04 Boots. To pass Secure Boot a new Machine Owner Key (MOK) needs to be created and passed through the UEFI BIOS.

Commands for Checking the zip checksums:
cd Downloads
sha256sum WinDev2008Eval.VMware.zip

Commands for installing prequisites:
sudo apt install build-essential

Commands for installing VMware Player bundle file:
cd Downloads
sudo sh VMware-Player-16.0.0-16894299.x86_64.bundle

Commands to create a new MOK key with VMware Services:
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VMware/"
sudo /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmmon)
sudo /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmnet)
sudo su
mokutil --import MOK.der
exit
reboot
