Of couse, since most modern computers are 64-bits, newest versions of virtualization software are designed for 64-bits systems as you noted. There are least three that I have personally used on a 32-bit system. There are many virtualization software and several run on 32-bit systems. It is possible as clearly virtualization existed before 64-bit systems. Note: For VMware versions back that far (V5) (I go back to Version 1), it was feasible to virtualize Windows 95 and 98 and early versions of Linux, but not the very large systems of today. Also your existing HDD is likely a 5,400 rpm drive which is another constraint in this machine. You may be able to change to Windows 10 64-bit and add some memory, but that is a big upgrade itself. You would need to upgrade the host machine. Your system is not really adequate for virtualizing today's modern systems. So I think V5 is hopeless for today's operating systems. V5 dates back to 2005 - 10 years before Windows 10. I did find an old email from participation in the VMware beta program. V5 did not know about Windows 7 and up and trying to run them easily results in errors. That is very likely the error stopping you. Windows 10 needs 2 GB to install and run leaving little or nothing for the host system.Īlso VMware Versions that are very old normally supported operating systems (Host and Guest) up to the year of the VMware Version. Your 32-bit system only allows 3.5 GB at most.
