You can refer to this KB article but VMWare Workstation is not a supported platform.

Hi,

 

VMWare workstation has never been one of the supported version, although it can probably work quite well but that doesn’t mean we support it (Test & Validation). So when a customer reports an issue with that environment we will not investigate/troubleshoot.

For your lab, you can go Hyper-V as that is supported, alternative get a VMware EXSI v8.0 host which I think you can still get for free also.
