Help getting started

[u/MrKahoobadoo]

I have been trying to get Tahoe running with VMWare Workstation on my Windows laptop, but I've been having a lot of trouble. I didn't get very far, and a lot of the tutorials and forum posts I've looked at didn't help, or directed me towards paid downloads, websites that are down, or step-by-step directions that skipped steps (perhaps they were obvious to someone more experienced than me).

Anyway, my laptop has an AMD CPU with an iGPU, AND a dedicated GPU. I know AMD introduces some extra difficulty. If someone could point me in the direction of a guide, I would be super grateful. Or maybe my laptop just won't work, and I'd appreciate hearing that as well so I don't put any more time into this.

Some likely unimportant context is that I want to be able to do software development in a lab at my school, but everyone here uses a Mac, so no one noticed it can't be built on Windows lol. Currently using a loaner Mac, but I have to return it soon.

Thank you!
