What is the minimum requirements to upgrade from Horizon 6 to 8? 

Is this a two step processes from 6 to 7 then 7 to 8?

Can someone give me the overview process?

Thanks!

If I read this upgrade path correctly, I will need to upgrade from 6.0 to 7.8 and then from 7.8 to 2012?

What about the other components? I didn't see specific upgrade details on these.

vCenter

vSphere

Connection Server

Upgrade path from Security Server to UAG?

Possible to convert View Composer linked clones to Instant Clones?

Type models of Thin clients are supported on Horizon 8?

Upgraded to 8 as recommended. Using Big Sur on iMac. Getting only black screen. Is there a walk around to this issue?
