VMware Fusion: Not Enough Physical Memory

KB ID 0001715

Problem

I upgraded to macOS Big Sur this week, and was surprised everything still worked! That was until I tried to start up my Windows 1o Virtual machine.

Fusion Not enough physical memory

“Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.”

Solution

Though it took me a while to ‘fix’, the fix is quite straight forward, I was running version 11 (see Below).
