Processor Requirements for 64-Bit Guest Operating Systems

You cannot install Player if the host system does not meet the processor requirements.

When you install Player, the installer performs checks to make sure the host system has a supported processor.

LAHF/SAHF support in long mode only for older 64-bit CPUs produced before 2006.

The host system must have a 64-bit x86 CPU that meets the following requirements.

You must install Player on a host system that meets certain processor requirements. To run Player, the host system and the host operating system must meet specific hardware and software requirements. You can also request support for any problems you encounter by posting in the VMWare Player forums.The physical computer on which you install Player is called the host system and its operating system is called the host operating system.

This shows that they have not completely dropped support for version (32-bit) Player 6 and are, for the time being, providing security-fixes and even bug-fixes. In case you concerned about using an older version, notice that VM Player 6.0.7 was released on July 7th, 2015, a full 7 months after version 7.0.0 was released. For the most part, it is just bug- and security-fixes, occasionally adding support for new OSes (e.g., Windows 10), improving performance, changing/adding/improving the virtual hardware devices, and sometimes changing system limits. If you are wondering what features you will be missing out on, you can check the Release Notes of later versions. If you want it for personal use, then VM Player 6.0.7 free (non-Pro, non-trial) is-at the time of this writing-the last version that you can get which will run on a 32-bit CPU. They further clarify that VM Player Plus 6 is the last version to support a 32-bit OS (and CPU) and that you can purchase Player 7 and downgrade the key in order to use Player 6 with a current license and support. At the bottom of the page, they say that you can run a 32-bit OS inside VM Player which is probably not what you want.

The System Requirements page indicates that a 64-bit host OS is required, which implies a 64-bit CPU.
