Running VMware on Windows 10 (not the other way around)

Question

Windows 10 is currently downloading on one of my machines. That particular machine has VMware Player 6.0.7 installed on it, running several virtual machines (which are important to me). I couldn't find anything related to installing and running VMware Player on Windows 10; every article I found mentioned setting up a Windows 10 machine on VMP (which I know from experience it works).

Since no explicit material (that I found) addressed the support or lack thereof for VMware Player on Windows 10, I tend to believe that there won't be any problems.

Are there any problems with installing/running VMware Player on Windows 10? Has someone already installed Windows 10 and could run VMP without any problems?

Solution

VMware Player 7, which is still free for non-commercial use, has been tested and is working on Windows 10. Download link for VMware Player 7 can be found here: https://download3.vmware.com/software/player/file/VMware-player-7.1.2-2780323.exe

Seeing as you say these virtual machines are important to you, you should probably have checked this before installing Windows 10.

Sure, point taken. As I wrote, Windows 10 was downloading, not installing. I've postponed the actual information until I get to do a complete backup of the data. If it would have been installed, I would have already known the answer...

VMWare Player 7 supports Windows 10 because Workstation 11 supports it

Do you need this exact version of VMWare Player for any reasons? I'm using the most current version of it on a Windows 10 host. No Problems so far. All my VMs work as usual.

@Robin no, that was just the installed version at the moment. I have since then upgraded to 7.1.2. Currently still on Windows 7, due to lack of proper drivers.
