Version 10 to Version 16 upgrade for Windows XP Pro, Server 2003 and Windows 7

I have VMWare Workstation 10 on my computer.

I need to replace this with the current VMWare Workstation (version 16)

I need to know if my machines for Windows XP Pro, Server 2003 and Windows 7 will work on VMWare Workstation 16.

Help gratefully accepted.  I know these are absurdly old operating systems, but that is not in my control.  😞

All three mentioned Operating Systems remain listed as supported versions while creating a new VM in Workstation 16 so I suspect you'll be fine.

So long as you don't 'Upgrade' the existing VMs after installing Workstation 16 you could also revert back to Workstation 10 if you do encounter any issues after the Workstation upgrade.

If all three VMs continue to work after the Workstation 16 upgrade you could then move on to upgrade each VM and the related VM Tools (If used) once you are sure you'll be sticking with the newer version.
