Vmotion fails from ESXI 6.5 to ESXI 6.0

Trying to migrate several Windows 10 VMS to my ESXI 6.0 Host

Getting this error

The virtual machine version is not capable with this version of the host

I powered the VM down and still unable to migrate the vm.

All my VMs are on a Shared storage with all my hosts.

Any ideas.

Thank you

Tom

Update

I was able to migrate two VMs

one was Windows 10 1709 and the other was Windows 8.1

I still have three more windows 10 machines that I would like to migrate to this host.

Is it possible to shutdown the VM  then remove from inventory an go to the 6.0 host and add to VM that way?

Any better way?

Thanks

Tom

Update

I have been able to migrate 3 of the 5 VMs two still have same error

I  turned of encrypted vMotion on the VM's and one of the Windows 10 machines that would not migrate did with that disabled.

Hope someone has an idea

Thanks
