How to enable UEFI in VMWare Workstation

VMWare Workstation 8, 9, and 10 support booting to a UEFI environment.

What you need to do to enable UEFI in your VMWare machine?

Create a new virtual machine
Open the .VMX file of your virtual machine in Notepad (or similar) and add the following line to it:
firmware="efi"
Save the .VMX file.

In addition, order to be able to select network boot, it is advisable to add a boot delay to the startup of the virtual machine.

This can be done by adding the line "bios.bootdelay = 5000" (time is in milliseconds)
