In future labs, you will have to run your VMware Workstation application to boot-up your CentOS 7 RHEL9 host VM.Usually, you are NOT required to use this menu (unless you need to "force-off" the c7host7 r9host machine, but should only be performed if you cannot normally shut-down the c7host r9host VM from the OS.
On the other hand, there are useful short-cut key you should use:
'''ALT-CTRL'''
:Return focus from your c7host r9host VM to your '''host computer system'''.
{{Admon/caution|Properly Exiting CentOS 7 RHEL 9 Session and Safely Removing USB Device|It is '''ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL''' that you do '''NOT''' remove your SSD drive during your CentOS 7 RHEL 9 session. You are required to correctly shutdown your CentOS 7 RHEL 9 host virtual machine as you would with any operating system. Also, you are required to use the '''Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media''' tool in the system tray on your Windows machine to properly disconnect your SSD device.
