Upgrade from version 6 to version 7

Hello,

We have a 6.0 vCentre server with a single host server that we want to upgrade to version 7.  We need to find out if we need to upgrade to 6.5, then 6.7, then version 7.  Or is there an easier path?

Unfortunately you should upgrade to version 6.7 and after that jumping to version 7.

You can go to 6.0 to 6.5 to 7 or 6.0 -> 6.7 -> 7. You will have to do two upgrades either way.

Unfortunately, you cannot do a direct upgrade from 6.0 to 7. You have to first upgrade to 6.5, then to, 6.7 and finally to 7.0

Please don't forget to ensure that your hardware is supported with the version that you want to upgrade to!

OR consider even new hardware for vSphere 8 already
