If you are getting this when you try an upgrade the workaround is very simple. Here is an example of the potential error you will get if you do not have compatible CPUs: Since this is part of my Lab I don’t care so much but would never do this for production.

With newer CPUs there is advanced features that older ones just don’t have. Although for what I use it for it should be fine there has been updates on what CPU is currently supported. The issue I had was incompatible hardware. I have three Dell T110s and wanted to upgrade them from vSphere 6.5 to 6.7.
