Put VMware CD/DVD host-ISO note under Reclaim11 Advanced - #118
Merged
Conversation
The VM picker browses the host, not the guest. Copy the v11 ISO out of the VM, attach that host path. USB EFI is the same WinPE.

🟢 Approval recommended
Documentation-only change is clear, consistent with the existing VMware section, and matches the PR’s stated intent.
Pull request overview
This PR updates the Reclaim11 Advanced documentation to surface a key VMware usability constraint (CD/DVD ISO selection happens on the host), helping VM users avoid a common “can’t find the ISO” pitfall before they hit the deeper WinPE/VMware instructions.
Changes:
- Adds a short “VMware CD/DVD browses the host” note at the top of the Advanced section.
- Keeps the existing detailed “Boot the ISO in VMware” section intact for step-by-step guidance.
