    You may proceed with upgrading the host, but be aware that future releases may not support the host's CPU anymore.

    For supported hardware, see https://www.vmware.com/go/hcl

    There are no problems with this upgrade.
    There are CPUs that are not supported in vSphere 8 and later, so there is a risk that they will not be supported in future major upgrades.

    For more information, see the following KB:
