#VMWARE TOOLS DOWNLOAD WORKSTATION 16 UPGRADE#
It was only those of us who tried to do an upgrade from 15.x to 16 who had issues with outdated VMware Tools remaining after the upgrade.I’ve had cause to look for the VMware Tools download a couple of times recently, so thought a quick post was in order to cover where you can download all the VMware Tools ISO images from.

#VMWARE TOOLS DOWNLOAD WORKSTATION 16 DRIVER#

As you can see in the following screenshot, the highest level of DirectX support for the driver is 10.1. To verify the version of DirectX that VMware Tools supported I opened dxdiag (the DirectX Diagnostic Tool) by executing it in the Run dialog, then switched to the "Display" tab and checked the Direct3D DDI and Feature Levels under "Drivers".
Since it looks like a version of VMware Tools that includes DirectX 11 support wasn't included with the release of VMware Workstation 16, may I ask when we should expect an updated version of VMware Tools that includes Direct X 11 support?
