wireless driver on windows 7 running on a Virtual machine.

HI.

i have a ESXI 6.5 server running in our lab. server has couple of VMs running and, one of the VMs is running windows 7 OS. i wanted to enable wireless functionality on the win 7 Guest OS running on the VM. i tried installing wifi drivers couple of times with no luck.

had couple of questions.

1. is it possible to install and run wifi driver on guest OS running on the VM

2. if not, is there any alternative ?

appreciate any help.

thank you,

Kandhla

No, ESXi does not support any wireless NICs so there's nothing you can offer to the guests.
