Hi,

https://haveyoutriedreinstalling.com/2019/04/12/virtual-hardware-version-15/

Remember, vHW15 won’t run on anything earlier than ESXi 6.7 U2 so unless you have updated all ESXi hosts, at least within a cluster, you could run the risk that vHW15 VMs are restricted to only the hosts currently running ESXi 6.7 U2 which might reduce their mobility and availability potential while the cluster is comprised of mixed patch levels.

vHW15 is also not currently compatible with VMware Cloud on AWS.

The only difference between vHW15 and vHW14 is the number of vCPU a VM can supported. vHW15 increases this to 256 vCPU compared to vHW14 128 vCPU.

When creating new VMs using the vSphere Client, vHW14 will still be the default version in vSphere 6.7 U2.
