![]() You can find examples of supported and unsupported processors at VMware's documentation page. It appears the Nvidia GTS 450 supports OpenGL 4.6 so using the GLRenderer might be a viable, albeit unsupported VMware configuration on Windows 10/11 hosts. Workstation 16 Pro can run on Intel- and Advanced Micro Devices-based PCs and laptops that contain processors launched as far back as 2011. The Intel graphics have some other problems when the GLRenderer is used. You might have to disable the Intel graphics at the Device Manager of the Windows 10 host just to ensure it uses the Nvidia card. If it does get strict about feature level 11_1 to have 3D acceleration for the VM some time in the future, you could try switching the VM to use GLRenderer by having these lines in the vmx configuration file. Maybe the 3D acceleration check is not yet strict at power up of the VM. Ran a Windows 11 VM and it didn't disable the 3D acceleration despite that the render device supports up to feature level 11_0 only. ![]() I did an update from 16.2.1 to 16.2.2 and I also didn't get the installation warning about 11.1 (maybe because it checked the HD530?). I have a laptop with GTX960M (Maxwell Gen 1 so up to Feature Level 11_0 only) as render device with Intel HD 530 (has feature level up to 12_1) as display device. ![]()
