Dears,
My local machine have an windows 10 home OS installed . I am trying to install a windows server 2016 or 2012 within a VMware pro 15 , when begin installing , my local host machine will give a blue screen error and the whole machine is restarted , there is error code SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION appears.
The question is : is it related to the version of windows installed in my machine ? which is windows 10 home , or shall i install windows 10 pro to solve this issue.
I tried to fix it by couple of command line and drive fixes with no luck
Anyone have an idea ?

Hi DSPatick,
Thank you for your reply, i viewed the link and the version of Vmware installed is 15x.
However , i used to install VMware and a windows server 2016 in it when using machine with windows 10 pro .
Now my point is my local machine is windows 10 home , is there any limitation ? as i am getting errors and the whole local machine is suspended with blue screen with start installing windows server 2016 or even 2012 in VMWare.
This is the local machine windows specs.
Regards,

I'd ask VMWare if this is a supported configuration.

Hi Patrick,
A strange solution i found that to install the latest version of VMware which is 16.x , i was using version 11.
