How can I transfer files from Virtual Windows 95 to Host (Windows 10) ?

I tried many things:

  • Enable copy and paste in Guest Isolation
  • Enable shared folders option but it isn't supported in Windows 95
  • Tried USB connection but Windows 95 doesn't see it

Virtual Machine Program: VMWare Workstation 11.0.0

When dealing with a Windows guest and Windows host, I would mount the virtual disk on the host. From the menu, choose File > Map Virtual Disks, click the Map button and select the .vmdk file for your Windows 95 VM.

Otherwise I would set up a network share in the Windows 95 VM and access files via that.
