Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 on VMware Workstation Pro 17

[Windows 7, VMware Workstation Pro] This time, I have summarized how to install Windows 7-pro-sp1 on VMware Workstation 17, which was recently made free.
Let's revive the Windows 7 that's lying around at home in a virtual environment.
This time, the network is set to host-only so that it cannot be connected to the outside world.
OS that is no longer supported should not be connected to the internet.
This time, I used an ISO file that was lying around on a server at home. I happened to find SP1, so I tried installing it with that. (lol)
