summary	This document outlines the process for upgrading ESXi to version 8.x using a legacy baseline-based approach, specifically focusing on booting from an ISO and utilizing the upgrade wizard without vLCM. It details that image-based upgrades (recommended for new vSphere 7 deployments) and vLCM management are not supported for this method. The process involves obtaining a custom ISO from Tier-1 vendors for unsupported hardware and does not guarantee deterministic upgrades due to potential host drift and inconsistencies. It emphasizes that this approach cannot be used for vLCM image-based management.
