Please, find this thread, if it helps - at the end are steps for VMWare installation https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-ro...stic-tool-for-evoque-td4.391137/#post-5678913
Also you can have files needed for installation from me, if you don’t have those

Virtual machine works well for other things but for some updates need use of USB stick and those are not working. When you have installation direct to Win7 professional 32 bit, they are working at least for me

you can pass usb stick to a vm easily.

Make sure you set date to 2023 and lock it because the software expired a month ago and it won't work.

Tried it again yesterday and these are the only snapshots I could get... then the laptop wouldnt run again for some reason. I dropped the original 360gb HDD back in and am cloning it back to the SSD again. I will leave it on Win7 Pro for now and try again later.
The BIOS shows Intel Virtualisation is enabled as is VT-d so it should be ok... I think.

I have now done a full clean install of Windows 10 and running the download all over again. I have also ordered some new RAM to bring it up to 8g. There seems to be mixed info on what VMWare 17 player needs... so I have gone for 8gb as that is the max my laptop will run. I am not sure why the system says the processor isnt compatible as it is a 4 core i7 which should be OK.. not optimal but should work accoding to the info I have seen. Will find out more when I install VM Ware I guess.
