Changing hardware compatibility

$
0

I'm trying to run an old virtual machine, running Windows 98 Second Edition, which was created as a Workstation 5.x virtual machine, under VMware Workstation 15 Player (because I needed to install it on a new computer and I couldn't find an older version of VM Player to download). Apps keep becoming unresponsive and it keeps crashing. What can I do to improve system stability and responsiveness?

On a related note, is there a way to change the hardware compatibility setting in VMware Workstation 15 Player (not Pro!)? Documentation at Configuring and Managing Virtual Machines instructs you: Select the virtual machine and select VM> Manage> Change Hardware Compatibility. However, I can't find any VM to select and altogether I can't find  any way to change hardware compatibility.
