Player 7.x vs. Workstation 12: more hardware heavy?
Hi everyone!
It's my understanding that VM Player 7.x has been released with Workstation 11 and we know the latest release for Player 7 is the 7.1.3.
Recently I switched from a very old Workstation 7.x to Player 7.1.3 right to test how Windows 10 works and how legacy Windows 7 and XP guests would run, knowing that hardware requirements would be hit the general guests performance.
However with my surprise everything is fine even if I still have to upgrade the Tools in the 7/XP guests (that's another story).
Now if I plan to upgrade to Workstation 12, is it more hardware-demanding vs. Player 7.x in order to run Windows 7 and Windows 10 guests or the difference will be barely noticeable?
Edit: Player 7.1.3 not 7.1.4
