Prerequisites

As mentioned, Windows Server 2022 is still in the testing phase. Consequently, it is possible to access it through the insider program. With this in mind, go to this link.

Please note that you need to register for the Windows Insider program. Don’t worry, it’s a simple and free process. You just need a Microsoft account. On the other hand, these versions are not yet stable enough to be used in a production environment. Therefore, it is advisable to use a virtualization program. In this opportunity VMware Workstation Player.

Installing Windows Server 2022 on VMware.

Creating the new virtual machine.

VMware is a very intuitive and easy to use program. Check out our tutorial. The first thing you have to do is click on Create a new virtual machine.

A wizard will be displayed immediately. Consequently, you must click on the ISO option. Next, browse to select the image.

As mentioned, it is necessary to locate the Windows Server 2022 ISO.

When you are ready, press Next.

In the next window, you have to set the operating system type. Accordingly, select Microsoft Windows Server.

Next, assign a name to the virtual machine. Also, set the location of it.

At this point, it is necessary to assign a virtual hard disk size.

Finally, the wizard provides a summary of the installation. In any case, you can customize the configuration:

Once there, you can customize several aspects. For example, the RAM memory allocated to the system.

If you are sure, press Finish to create the new virtual machine.

Running Windows Server 2022 virtual machine.

From the application menu, click on Play virtual machine.

Please press a key to boot from the ISO. Then the system installation will start.

In the next screen you set the installation parameters. I.e. language, time format and input method.

Then press Install to start the process.

Next, you need to enter a code to activate Windows Server. However, you can skip this step. It is possible to activate the system at a later time.

Next, select the version to install. It is recommended to choose a version with graphical environment.

Then, please accept the license terms.

Now please select the Windows installation option.

At this point, you must select the hard disk where you will install the system.

Finally, the installation will start. Therefore, you must wait while the necessary files are loaded. In addition, the services also start to be configured:

After a few moments, the wizard will prompt you to create an administrator password.

Now, enter the newly created password.

After a few seconds, we will see Windows Server 2022 correctly installed.

All right, we have finally seen how to install Windows Server 2022 on VMware. In subsequent installments we will see more tutorials on this operating system. See you later!

Using CloudReady to install Chrome OS.

Before we go any further, I would like to make some considerations. First, Chrome OS is a proprietary commercial operating system. For that reason, it is designed to be installed on specific hardware manufactured by Google’s partners. Consequently, it is not easy to have a copy of Chrome OS as such. However, Chromium OS is an open source project. Furthermore, it can be freely compiled from its source code.

On the other hand, there are many options to run this version. However, the most user-friendly option is provided by CloudReady. This project provides ISO images to run Chromium OS on a computer. But in addition, they already have an OVA ready to virtualize on VMware Player. This way we can enjoy an experience almost identical to Chrome OS. Because Chromium OS is the foundation of that system. Also, since it is already compiled, the installation is very simple.

VMware Workstation Player is a great platform to install Chrome OS on a virtual machine.

We have previously talked about VMware Workstation Player. This free software is used to virtualize operating systems. In fact, in osradar we already teach you how to download and use it. However, today we will use a different method. That is, we will not load an ISO to start running the operating system. Instead, we will use an OVA. Which is a virtual device used by VMware. In addition, this file contains all the files needed to virtualize the operating system. For this reason, the procedure for booting the system is a little different, as we will see later. In the first place, you must download the OVA from this link. Then start VMware Workstation Player and click on the Player menu. Then select File and then Open.

Then select the previously downloaded OVA.

A window will be displayed immediately. Once there, please assign the name for the virtual machine. Also, edit the storage address. After assigning the parameters, please start the import process.

Please wait a few moments while the import process begins.

Next, VMware is ready to start loading Chromium OS.

Editing some elements of the virtual machine.

As mentioned, VMware is now ready to run the virtual machine. However, it is necessary to check some elements so that it runs smoothly. With this in mind, click on Edit Virtual Machine Settings:

The first thing you have to do is verify the configuration of the network adapter. This is very important, since it allows the connection to the Internet. Please note that Chromium OS is cloud-based, so connectivity is essential. Consequently, the network connection must be bridged.

Another aspect to consider is adding a sound card. This way it is possible to play audio from the virtual machine.

Running Chromium OS for the first time

To load the system for the first time, just click on Play Machine. The system will immediately run. On the welcome page, click on Let’s go.

Then check the internet connection.

The wizard then asks for the data collection. You can enable it or not.

Please note that this is a system developed by Google and based on Chrome. For this reason it is essential to enter Gmail credentials.

Then enter the account password.

Finally you are ready to start using Chromium OS.

Finally, you can start using the operating system. The following image shows the Chromium OS Control Center.

Next we will see the Chromium browser running. Also, the system settings.

Please note that this system is cloud-based. So it is necessary to run web applications to get all the potential out of it.

Conclusion

Finally, we have seen how to install Chrome OS in a virtual machine. In addition, CloudReady also provides ISO for installation on any computer. In addition, the experience provided by Chromium OS is the closest thing to Chrome OS. Not including the proprietary element. Very good, until a soon opportunity. Bye!

After the preparations are done, press finish to start the installation.

After a few moments, the installation will be complete.

Creating our first virtual machine with VMware Workstation Player

All right, it’s time to create our first virtual machine. To do this, it is essential to have the ISO of the guest system. Once the program is launched, please click on Create a New Virtual Machine.

As mentioned, in this step the ISO of the operating system to be installed must be added. Additionally, the program has the option to use a DVD as installation media. Similarly, you can add the ISO later. In that case, the program will create a blank virtual hard disk.

VMware has a very intuitive wizard that determines the type of system to be virtualized. However, sometimes it is unable to do this so you must indicate it manually.

Then assign the name to the virtual machine and its location.

Then specify the size of the virtual hard disk. Please note that it has to be smaller than the size of the physical disk itself.

Finally, the virtual machine is ready to be created. Please note that the VMware wizard is very intuitive and assigns the settings automatically. In fact, it does this by taking into account the characteristics of the host and guest system. However, you can modify these values by clicking on Customize Hardware.

If you choose the option to customize hardware, then you will see the following window where you can modify the values to your liking.

Ultimately, the virtual machine is ready to be launched.
