Explanation / Answer

Solution: Copying your current virtual machine to your flash drive and use it with VMware installed machine in any other computer by following steps given below.

=> Shut down your virtual machine.

Note: Copying a virtual machine while it is running or suspended can create a copy that may not boot.

=> Select the folder where the virtual machine is stored and press Ctrl+c.

=> Select the location where you want to copy the virtual machine.

=> Press Ctrl+v.

You see a progress bar, indicating that the virtual machine is being copied.

Note: This does not affect your current virtual machine.

=> Power on the copied virtual machine. Workstation prompts you to indicate if you have moved the virtual machine or copied it.

=> Select the Moved It option if you are moving the virtual machine locally on the hard drive.

This option indicates that it is the same virtual machine, which is being started from a new location. Therefore, all settings are retained.

Note: If you select the Copied It option, a new UUID and MAC address are generated. This ensures that there are no conflicts in the network.
