Not sure if this is the right place to ask this :S

 

I'm wondering if I can modify Windows 10 on VMware to have the settings of normal windows? I need it so application doesn't detect the system running from VM - because I want to play a game running on host and VM. Problem is, when I run it on VM the application says "Sorry, this application can't run under virtual machine" 

 

thanks.

VMware is a particularly transparent type of VMhost. What are the host and vM specs, did you enable 3D support and what type of VMware are you running, I assume ESXi but there are others, what version too.

What vmware product? ESXI

 

KVM lets you fake a real machine, but there are still ways to know its a virtual machine.

I don't know any of those, I only know that I installed VMWare Workstation

Right, that helps us help you. Did you pass a video card through and enough CPU cores to be used for gaming and RAM, You're gonna wanna pass a whole PCIe video card through, at least 4 CPU threads and 6GB of RAM to even come close to having enough for gaming. 

Yours faithfully

The game I'm trying to run doesn't require big specs, I set the VM to use 4GB Ram and total of 4 cores

You still need to pass a video card through for it to have 3D support, or enable it in the menu. I use ESXi which is a dedicated host OS for VMware, so it's not massively the same but similar. Without either 3D support or a dedicated GPU you won't have API suppport.

What does "pass a video card through" means? I've enable the Accelerate 3D Graphics and put 2GB Graphic card memory under Display on VM Settings

It means to take a PCIe device from the machine and dedicate it to the VM, completely passing the host OS, it's something I do to give VMs GPU compute cards in rack servers.

you can give a vm full control of a pcie gpu, but you can't do that on windows 10.

 

 

Why not install the game on the host?

So I can't do that in Win 10 host or Win10 VM?

 

I'm trying dual login on the same system to do some exploits
