Some Fusion 7 users have run into a problem upgrading to Windows 10. The good news is that it's really easy to fix.</p>  <div class="devicebox"> <h3>Switch to Mac</h3> <p>

</p> <p>Every week our Peter Cohen brings you Switch to Mac — a column to help you move from Windows PC to the Mac and OS X!</p> <ul><li>Read more about switching to Mac</li> </ul></div> <div> <style> <![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><!]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]]]><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> <p>Over at his own blog, VMware senior product marketing manager Michael Roy mentions the workaround.</p>

<p>Rather than use the upgrade method within the VM, download the .ISO and mount it to Fusion to perform the upgrade.</p>

<p>That's right, download the .ISO image of the Windows upgrade: the disk image file Microsoft makes available for download.</p> <p>Make sure to have your existing Windows product key handy for activation.</p> <p>Roy offers a bunch of other great advice, like take a Snapshot before installation, so you'll have a rollback point if you run into problems. And if you need to set up more than one virtual machine, Fusion Pro's clone feature can save you time.</p> <p>VMware had some other news to share this week. They're offering 10 percent off the price of Fusion 7 ($62.99 for the regular version, $134.99 for the Pro version), and a free upgrade to Fusion 8 when it is released later this summer.</p> <p>VMware isn't spilling the beans on Fusion 8, but they say it'll be enhanced for use with Windows 10.</p> <p>If you're interested in running Fusion 8 ahead of time and can take a chance with preview software, check out VMware Fusion Technology Preview. You'll get a look at what's to come in Fusion 8.</p> <p>For more on Windows 10 itself, check out the in-depth Windows Central review</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
