ESXI on a Dell G5 SE 5505

I was asked to install esxi 7 on a dell gaming laptop.

 

Dell G5 SE 5505

During install I get the error it cant detect the network card.

Is this possible to install on the platform?

 

Thanks,

Dave

Check here for supported NICs (that have a driver): https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=io

If yours isn't listed, it's not supported.
