Hi,

First upgrade VMware tools and then shutdown the VM, upgrade virtual hardware. Yes, you will be able to boot the VM.  You will not be able to run this VM on lower version of ESXI host than the current one that you are using, other than that there is no impact.

Just create a snapshot prior to upgrading the HW version.

There is always a slight possibility of issues with the VM after ugprading the HW version.

Snapshot or clone the VM prior to doing so to protect against the "unlikely" anomalies Smiley Happy
