A virtual machine question

[lVaderl]

VM software Vmfusion Workstation pro

 

Host: Win 10 pro

Guest: Win 10 pro

 

Is there an app for VMs so a app on the host can be used on the guest and what was it called

The intention of a VM is to seperate it. By design what you want is not possible.

What is possible to share folder/files and the clipboard between host & guest and sync this way the app between host and guest. You still have to do the "mod" to access the app files.

I think linus said something about this in the 7 gamer 1 pc

Yes, I've used VM since I was around 17 years old, which is exactly 10 years ago, I've used VMware player and workstation as well as Virtualbox. Your writing however is on par with a 10 year old, and it doesn't make any sense.

Well let me rephrase the question then:

Is there any software that lets the guest share application with the host so I don't have to download a copy of the same app to save space?

 

And this is not English class so I don't rlly care about me English

If you cannot make yourself understood, at all times, then people will either ignore you as an imbecile, or ridicule you as an idiot. You do not want that.

Speaking clear and proper English is a gift and helps get not only your point across and taken seriously, but garners more thoughtful answers as well.

 

But to your original question, VMs don't work that way, they are isolated for a reason. At least the free versions I work with do not do this, you *can* share folders across host/guest systems, but I am unaware of any that will work across programs. Perhaps the high end paid for versions do, but I kind of doubt it.

can you explain a bit more what you want:

1. why a vm if you want to do the same with the same files on the vm. The point of a vm is to separate the system for varius reason.

2. do you mean with apps x64 programms or UWP apps?

 

they used unraid to manage the VM and did the passthrough with this software.

1. To save space (if possible)

 

2. Both 32 bit (steam) and 64 bit

I can get most paid versions for free (cause I have my ways)

 

And do you have any software that works (paid or free)

1. if you want to save you would just use your host system, so why do you need the vm with the same os as the host?  could it be that sandboxie is the real thing you are looking for?

2. share the folder between the host and guest, share all folders which are needed (makes a vm pointless as there is now a connection on many importent folder)

Did i have a already mentioned that windows have a registry and other nice stuff what DRM is checking? At least you need to write your own programm which mess around with this.

I'll try gpu pass-through with a 1080, but the chances are slim, if not ill throw in a 970
