Help page on "prepare for an upgrade"

I'm looking at this page:

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-41311258-4AAD-42B9...

Is it something updated, or (as it seems to me) a bunch of copy and past from various ages?

It's unlikely that someone upgrade such versions, while the latest are not mentioned.

--------------------------------

Verify that all virtual machines are Workstation 7.x, 8, 9, 10 or 11 virtual machines. Direct upgrades from Workstation 2 and 3 virtual machines are not supported 

No mention for 4-5-6. And it seems that 12 and on are not ok, that's absurd.

If a virtual machine was created with a version of Workstation earlier than Workstation 5.5 and it has a snapshot, delete the snapshot.

But if just said that less than 7 is not supported...

If you are upgrading from Workstation 4, 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x, and the previous version of Workstation used bridged settings to map virtual networks to specific physical or virtual adapters, record those settings.

The same.

If you are upgrading Workstation 6.x on Windows XP to the current version of Workstation Pro on Windows Vista or Windows 7, verify that Service Pack 2 is installed and then upgrade the host operating system to Windows Vista or Windows 7.

But it seems that Vista and 7 are not supported as host, so why write lines about them?
