How to Install VMware ESXi 8 on VMware Workstation | Step-by-Step Tutorial
In this video, you will learn the complete process of how to install VMware ESXi 8 on a virtual machine using VMware Workstation. This step-by-step tutorial is designed for beginners and IT professionals looking to set up a nested virtualization environment or build a home lab.
Before we dive into the installation process, let's quickly go over the hardware requirements. To run ESXi 8 successfully, you need a processor that supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V virtualization. While the absolute minimum RAM requirement is 4 GB, I strongly recommend having at least 16 GB of RAM if you actually plan to run some virtual machines. For storage, make sure you have enough space for both the OS and your VMs—and a quick tip: always use an SSD if possible to avoid slow performance. Lastly, don't forget to enable Virtualization Technology in your BIOS before starting
📌 Minimum Hardware Specs:
CPU: Intel VT-x / AMD-V Enabled
RAM: 4 GB Min (16 GB+ Recommended)
Storage: SSD preferred (for VM performance)
Network: Compatible NIC required
BIOS: Enable Virtualization Technology
