Well the thing about the VM ware tools option is seen mainly when first getting any VM set up and that option will appear with a button along with message asking it you want to install right away and simply click the install tools button. There's not any manual text option at least on the Windows flavor of VM ware simply the option on the VM window at the bottom right side.
It won't hurt to get basically some familiarity with the Bash commands even you are not looking to run any distro as your main OS on an older machine turned into Linux box as many have already done. The newer they get however the further away from entering manual commands you get as has already been seen over the years with Windows.
Also you will be finding that just about everything is now leaning towards touchscreen in even the open source community as the latest basic $35 cell phone is now touchscreen only! No more buttons to push on those even.
Meanwhile here's a look at the 17.2 release of LMDE or Linux Mint Debian Edition. Put Teamviewer on the VM as well as the physical Windows installs and have tested connecting remotely from VMs!You will notice the prompt there about hardware rendering not being available since that is on a VM.
