VMWare Workstation 11: Cant copy/cut/paste between my host Windows 7 and a guest Windows 10 - windows-10

I have a bad time trying to understand whythe copy/cut/paste between my host OS "Windows 7" and a Guest OS "Windows 10" don't work!
The feature works with other Guests (WS2012, WS2008 and Ubuntu distro) installed on the same VMWare.
I checked the vmtools, the latest version in installed.
Any hints/explanations how it works with some guests and no with others ?
What can I do to solve the issue ?
Thanks

just go to vertual machine setting and set connection type as bridge, if you it is in NAT or Host only network it might not work.

How do I connect to VMware from another PC?

I am facing an issue with my VMware and Ubuntu PC.
Scenario: I have a Windows 8.1 PC (IP: 192.168.1.10) and installed VM ware on this Window PC and installed Centos 7 on the VM ware (IP: 192.168.163.127). Also, I have another PC installed with Ubuntu 15.10 (IP: 192.168.1.12). I need to ping or connect to the Centos on the VM ware from my Ubuntu PC. I am using VMware workstation 12 Pro.
How do I can do this? Is this possible? Please, anybody, help me.
try to set the Networkadapter to bridged mode. At your virtual pc you need a IP like 192.168.1.... Then you have access to your virtual pc over your local network.
By using NAT it is quite possible. For further information about how you can configure your NAT and Bridge please take a look at following links:

Can I install Windows server and enble Hyper-V on a VM on Ubuntu 14.04

Can I enable Hyper-V role on windows Guest OS(VM) running on Ubuntu 14.04.
I hitting with issue
Hyper-V cannot be installed: A hypervisor is already running.
This isn't possible to my knowledge. Xen and KVM don't support Hyper-V in a VM.
Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor. It runs on bare metal then runs the parent as if it's a privileged VM. We've been doing a lot of work recently around nested virtualization (link) on a Hyper-V host but nothing for Hyper-V on other hypervisors as of now.
Note: I work on the Hyper-V team at Microsoft.

Hyper-V error. Running Windows Phone Emulator and VM in the same time (Windows 8)

I'm developling a WP8 application on my computer (OS : Windows 8).
I need to install a VM to have linux.
In the same time i need to use my Emulator of Windows Phone.
I downloaded VMWare and create a virtual machine, but i had this error :
VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role
from the system before running VMware Workstation.
I can't remove the Hyper-V because i need it, to use the Emulator of Windows Phone.
Maybe i didn't search well , but i only found solutions who will make me cut my Hyper-V. So it will not be possible to use my Emulator and my VM in the same time.
So, my question is : Is it possible to use my Emulator Windows Phone and in the same time to have a VM with linux who is running ?
No, you can't. You have two ways:
1) Install your Linux into Hyper-V
2) Turn Off Hyper-V, restart Windows, Use VMware. Then turn on Hyper-V, restart and use Windows Phone Emulator.
You can turn on or off Hyper-V from command line:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

VT-X on windows 7 cannot be recognized by Guest OS(Ubuntu 12.04) with virtualbox

I have met with the following problem.
Hardware: DELL Laptop E6430(CPU: I7 3520M)
Host OS : Windows7 professional(64 bit)
Guest OS: Ubuntu 12.04(32 bit)
VMM: virtualbox 4.2.16
I need to do some development on KVM with a windows 7 environment. Things can be made sure are that VT-X are opened in BIOS and can be recognized by windows 7.(Passed securable test.)
I can't post screenshot for my low reputation, sorry for that :-(
VT-x| AMD-V option in virtualbox is also opened.
But when I typed cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx, I found no related output.
I tried to close VT-D in BIOS and then reopened it as google told me, but in vain.
Note that after I closed VT-D in BIOS, virtualbox just told me that vt-x | AMD-V was not available anymore, which I suppose means virtualbox knows the existence of that CPU feature.
So I thought KVM can not be used by windows 7, am I right? If not, I hope that somebody can tell me why there is no VMX in my guest OS. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for answering, I finally installed Ubuntu 12.04 with windows7 on the same hard disk. As for my issue, virtualbox don't support full virtuallization, so I could not see any VMX feature in my Guest OS, but vmware do, which suits me well.

Is there a way to install windows server 2003 x64 over a VM?

I have been trying to install that but it produces an error saying that the processor is not compatible with x64. I tried VMWare Player and Microsoft Virtual PC. I also read about disabling virualization but it's not working.
By enabling virtualization from the BIOS setup of the main machine it worked!
