I have had this problem. It's the kind of computer software problem I particularly dislike--it's there sometimes, but not always. I have found that clearing out of everything, and especially deleting everything in the Virtual\ Machines.localized folder, helps when I try again. Sometimes it has wor

I last used Windows natively in 2020. My last Windows in a VM was earlier than that, and I honestly don't recall when that would have been. However, I can't imagine why Narrator wouldn't work. There's no specific chip dependency in our screen readers, afaik. Yes, they're OS environment specific, bu

Hi Dave: Yes, but I'd shop a tad further. That price sounds like the stand-alone desktop price, and you might be able to use one of the OEM licenses for less. It's been a long time since I purchased a Microsoft license, but I don't imagine things have really changed much. Janina Dave Carlson wri

Hello Janina, Good. That’s done, and I was able to delete the reference to X64 in my VMWare settings. Now for the real question: Do I simply purchase a windows license on Microsoft or Amazon, and apply it to the W11 ARM that I am running? I think the price for the license is US$199, so I don’t

Yes, I think you got it done. Be sure to check for any hidden files in that folder, though. Off the top of my head I'm not recalling whether there's a hidden file to worry about, but it's a common enough software strategy to guard against things like accidental deletions. Dave Carlson writes: > O

I just installed VMWare Fusion. That part was easy. Where I went wrong (I think) is the version of Windows ISO I downloaded. Since this VM is an ARM machine, I needed to get the Windows 11 ARM version. It’s downloading right now. Here’s my question: How do I remove the incorrect version of Windo
