Safely upgrade Workstation from very old version

$
0
0

Apologies, not VMware fluent. I have a client with an old VMware Workstation version 9 installation, supporting a Linux based ancient ADP database VM. This is on a Windows 10 Pro (i5, 8GB, 250GB SSD) host that will no longer update until VMware is brought more current.

 

As I understand it, an new purchase is needed, not Upgrade pricing; that's not an issue. I'm just looking for guidance on the best way to upgrade the existing configuration from 9 to 15.5 without issues. Do I uninstall 9 and fresh install 15.5, or will 15.5 find what it needs to intelligently if I just run the installer?

 

Support for this ancient VM is non-existent, so I'm sweating a little.

TIA
