Instant Clone on Windows 10

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have created a windows 10 vm with the 64bit VMWare View agent running (7.5.1) on it, VMWare tools (latest) and HW level 13. Windows 10 is Windows 10 Enterprise (Windows 10 Business Edition 1803 from my visualstudio license). 

I have a snapshot taken and when I try to create an Automated farm with Instant Clone, the VM will not come up on the list.  If I select all available VMs and then mouse over the windows 10 VM, it shows 'VM with Unsupported Guest OS'. I have even gone as far as rebuilding the windows 10 image with another edition and still have the same issue.

Is there a way to find out what is actually causing the image/vm validation to fail or am I missing something else in the build process maybe??

Based on the way you say "farm" that makes me think you are trying to make an RDS farm (which requires Windows Server with the RDSH role) vs a desktop pool.  You want to create an instant clone desktop pool, not a farm.  Different section of the interface.
