I have tried both VirtualBox and VMware 15.0 for attempting to enable Aero on this build, but with no luck. Here's what happens when I attempt to install the drivers:
VirtualBox: Guest Additions do not install fully (aborts when installing mouse driver), on reboot the graphic drivers fails to load and rolls back to the default VGA driver. When attempting to install the graphics driver manually, Windows treats the Standard VGA driver as "the best driver software already installed on the computer" and thus refuses to update it.
VMware 15.0: Installs properly, but 6.5x-12.0 compatibility yields this glitch:
When attempting to load any program, DWM instantly crashes:
With 14.0/15.0 compatibility, DWM instantly crashes at login.
Do I have to downgrade VMware just to get Aero to work on this build? Or is there a driver I can use and the ones I have don't work?

Re: Help Getting Aero on Windows 7 build 6730
Try installing the VMware Tools from 7.1.x./8.x, that's what I use whenever I install 6730 and it works fine even on the 20H1 Tech Preview. Sadly I don't have 6730 at the moment, so you'll have to take my word and try it yourself.

Use an early version of VMware Tools, and I do not recommend using VirtualBox for beta versions at all
