The virtual machine library appears on the left side of the Workstation Pro window. You use the library to view and select virtual machines, folders, and remote hosts in Workstation Pro. The library appears by default.

Prerequisites

If the library is not visible, select View > Customize > Library.

Procedure

  • Right-click a virtual machine, folder, or remote host in the library to view the item's context menu and perform common operations.
  • To find a specific virtual machine in the library, type its name, part of its description, or the name of the guest operating system in the search box.

    For example, to find all of the virtual machines that have a Windows 8 guest operating system, type Windows 8. You can also search for folders and remote hosts.
