Hi,


Nothing prevents you from installing one of the most recent versions of the ESXi product in combination with hardware not present in HCL, but in addition to not being supported in any way it is always an unknown factor, many have been successful and instead as many have failed, and the more the older the hardware you have and the more likely that this will happen.


A viable alternative is to use a recent "PC", with adequate characteristics, install the VMware Workstation product and then install ESXi on a virtual machine set up for the purpose, ie a so-called "nested" environment.


Regards,
Ferdinando
