Hi all, I have a VMWare server version 8.0, I'm trying to convert a Windows 10 computer to it from a VMWare server 6.7. The Windows station has the latest VMWare tools. When I try to convert it I get an error message…..
Unable to recognize the server type or version when connecting to the host
Not sure how to get past this. Thanks all.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
