Well I had to switch off hypervisor and core isolation - that lifted performance from pathetic to flying, then for Windows 10 download VMWare tools and then download another patch to get network shares working - so the VM could see the rest of my drives I wanted it to see, then I re-installed Photoshop CS4 with Astronomy tools (actions) add on and voila - its all there.
I find this almost magical - you can store an image of any machine set up you wish - Linux variants, Windows variants basically anything you imagine - they just appears as virtual machines in your VMware player - until you want to start one up. Click a button and 30 seconds later you have a new machine with its own operating system operating in a window on your PC. So now I have Photoshop CS4 under a VM running Windows 10 working perfectly!
Very pleased for my first home usage. Must say youtube was brilliant for watching how to videos that explained it all perfectly!
