Thanks for the rebound, Clayton. The screen shot I should capture is
from Device Manager that shows the PS/2 Keyboard with a yellow triangle
and an exclamation point. I am aware of the capture key sequence and
probably need to try that again just to make sure.
Detail I may have missed at the start of this tale - the Windows 10
instance is a physical to virtual conversion by way of VMWare Converter
(just downloaded from VMWare). Converter ran on the local machine to an
attached USB drive for transfer. I suspect there is a "hold your tongue
right" aspect to the P2V of which I am unaware.

Are you sure that VMware has "captured" the keyboard? Usually this
happens when the mouse is active within the VM, but there might be a key
combo or button that tells VMware to accept input from the keyboard.
Can you post a screenshot?

Remember getting this head-scratcher of a Windows (or is it BIOS?)
error

My "project" has been to get a laptop with Ubuntu as the primary
operating system with Windows 10 running under VMWare Player. I've
goofed around with this for quite a while (many calendar days, not many
hours of effort) to the point that I now have this very combination up
and running.
Kind of.
Windows 10 doesn't recognize the laptop keyboard. I have not yet tried
plugging in an external USB keyboard for a look see. I did try going
into Device Manager (I can get there by glide pad only) and deleted the
reference to PS/2 Keyboard. First observation - pointing and clicking
device works fine, no keyboard. Second observation - PS/2??? Anyway,
one of the "happy talk" how-to's said "delete the keyboard and reboot."
PS/2 came back, no type.
Any number of other "happy talk how-to's" said that you could press
whatever key combination to solve the problem. Really? Key presses
not
received by Windows 10.
Not even F1.
