How to change CPUID in VMware Workstation Pro ?

    Hello,

    I am trying to modify the CPUID in VMware Workstation Pro for a specific virtual machine, but I am unsure of how to do this correctly. I have seen that it can be done by editing the .vmx file manually, but I am not sure about the correct syntax or how to proceed.

    Here is what I have tried so far:

    • Attempted to locate the CPUID settings in the VMware Workstation Pro interface, but I couldn't find an option for it.

    • Tried searching for guides, but they mention modifying the .vmx file without providing clear instructions.

    Could anyone please guide me step-by-step on how to change the CPUID mask in VMware Workstation Pro? Any advice or examples of the correct syntax would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Best regards,
