Windows 10 on an ESXi 5.0 server

[m4biz]

Hi.

Is it possible to create a Windows 10 64 bit VM on ESXi 5.0 server?

I don't find Windows 10 listed as possible choice when I create a new VM.

Thanks in advance

Because it's not supported. Earliest supported release is 5.5.

Hi daphnissov

thanks for your reply.

Is there any workaround so that the w10 VM machine could work on ESXi 5.0?

No, this won't work correctly.

You have to upgrade your ESXi version.

+1 for Finikiez's reply. You need to upgrade your vSphere. Don't expect antiquated versions of software will miraculously support new versions.
