Hi,

I've just started using vmware workstation 10 for hopefully creating my test environment.

I've got a mid spec desktop running windows 8.1 x64 with 8gb ram and i5 4th gen.

The hard drive is a single 1tb drive.

when I'm creating vm's and they are going through the install process the overall system performance is terrible. I can barley use the computer for anything else.

Is there anyway I can improve this poor performance ? should I be running the vm's on a separate partition or a totally separate disk ?

Thanks
