Fix macOS 10.x Errors

To fix this problem you need to change the VMware version from version15.x to VMware Version version 10.x. There are two ways which can change the VMware Versions, however, I already told you both methods.

Method 1: Change the VMware version using the VMX file

Open the location where all the files of the VM are saved, find there the file with an extension of vmx. right click and open it with Notepad, then on their line change “16” to 10.

 

Method 2: Change the VMware version using the Graphical Interface

Its screenshot is provided before above with the title of Step 1. Change the VMWare Player /Workstation Pro compatibility version to 10.x.

  1. Go to the VM tab> Manage > change Hardware incompatibilities.
  2. Click next on the Welcome Wizard.
  3. Click on the drop-down menu and change the VMX version to 10.x
  4. Click yes
  5. VMWare Hardware compatibility provides you with two options of Clone and Alter. The clone is a version which will duplicate it but Alter is the other option which will change it pretty much well. Here you have to select Alter and move on to the next step.
  6. Finally, Finish it.
  7. Open the VMX File, scroll down and paste the below code.
smc.version = “0”
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”
cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001”
cpuid.1.ebx = “0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000”
cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
cpuid.1.edx = “0000:1111:1010:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”

Ending thoughts

It is the problems and errors which is making us think even more as we used too. I remember those moments when I was studying server, those days we were confronting errors. Since we were a group, every one of us was dropping an error out of the box. So, in this Post, 3 errors are killed, I will be with you in the next post.
