If I remember correctly, you can create one snapshot in the free version.

I've used it before and there wasn't such an option.

But you can copy/replace the VM Folders inside documents to revert a VM, i did this for years without
big issues.

You just need to remember to not rename anything and to click replace.

For sure VMware player may take a long time or depends on the developers on implementing snapshots feature; since their main flagship is VMware Workstation that provides not just complete feature but also its more accessibility and enhancement in security

 

[grrr]

Never saw a snapshot feature in VMplayer (free). As Secondmineboy mentioned, just copy VM and replace/overwrite it and keep using the same.
