How to see CentOS7 running in VMWare WS serial console output in putty

I am having problems viewing serial console output coming from CentOS7 kernel in putty. Here are my settings:

contents of /etc/defaults/grub:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

Serial console port setup in VMWare WS:

And here is the connection to pipe in putty:

And yes, I did run:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

And reboot.

All I get is a good connection from putty to the pipe, but no output whatsoever.

This is a window 10 host.
