VMWare Workstation lets you clone virtual machines as a built-in feature. This will work on Windows 7, 8 and 10 or any version that runs VMPlayer. When you are done with the VMPlayer virtual machine clone, delete it and you can clone your original prepared image for your next project. This guide will show you how to clone that prepared image you have so that you do not have to reinstall VMtools, set up your shared folders and reinstall software all the time, just clone it and play with the clone. It also has some basic software installed like openssh and gparted that I use for preparing Pi images. The prepared image has VMware Tools so I can share folders with my host, drag-and-drop items and share my clipboard with the virtual machine. In my installing Ubuntu as a virtual machine guide, I mentioned that I like to have a pure, prepared image which I leave intact. It lets you have a playground environment where you can play, break and mess around as much as you like on an operating system with no consequences to your real home media server operations. VMPlayer test environments are incredibly useful for anyone who wants to tinker with new software.
