Thank you for the answer Pat. &nbsp;I do have 1 more question regarding VMWARE. &nbsp;Not sure if I need to post it or if you can answer it now. &nbsp;I will ask anyway. &nbsp;If I clone a VM will that clone the entire VM and all files, folders, settings, etc... or will it only clone the barebones of the VM like hard drive capacity, OS, and memory?
</div>

I will add one more comment to Andrew's comment. As a precaution, I prefer to shutdown my VM before cloning. Just in case there is DB connection active, an opened file, etc... It may not be needed, but this is something I prefer to do.

I am new to VMWARE and was wondering where in the program I would check to see the TOTAL avaialbe resources (memory, hard drive space) for creating VM's. &nbsp;I want to create a couple new VM's and I am not sure what my resources are.

VMWARE resources

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
