VMware Fusion 13 - Supported File Formats

Software Overview

VMware Fusion is virtualization software that enables Mac users to run Windows, Linux, and other operating systems (OSes) in macOS, by creating virtual machines (VMs). Fusion is available in two versions, Player and Pro. Player is designed for personal use, while Pro includes advanced, business-oriented features, such as the ability to customize virtual networks, connect to the vSphere/ESXi Server, and create linked and full clones.

Fusion can create and run VMs in three modes:

Fusion includes a 64-bit engine and multicore processing power, allowing you to switch seamlessly between the virtualized OS apps and macOS apps. For example, you can play a .WMV video file with Windows Media Player in a virtualized Windows OS, then convert a .HEIC image file with Apple Preview on your Mac.

Additionally, each Fusion VM can include 16 virtual CPUs (vCPUS), an up-to-8TB virtual disk, and 64GB of memory, providing enough processing power and storage to run even the most intensive Windows and Linux applications. The program also includes the ability to take a snapshot of your VMs, so you can revert to a previous state at any time.

Summary

Fusion is a high-end virtualization program that allows you to run Windows, Linux, and macOS applications side-by-side without sacrificing performance. VMware Fusion is an excellent choice for running Windows in macOS, as well as hundreds of other operating systems.
