VMware virtual machine prompted by incompatible hardware version can not be started: module Upgrade failed to start, failed to start the virtual machine solutions
Article Description.
在使用VMware虚拟化软件时，如果你从较高版本的 VMware Workstation 降级到低版本，可能在打开原先创建的虚拟机时遇到如下报错信息：
“模块 Upgrade 启动失败，虚拟机无法启动，提示当前使用的硬件版本不受支持。”
该问题通常是由于虚拟机文件仍保留了高版本的硬件兼容设置，而当前的 VMware 版本无法识别导致。
解决步骤如下：
1.找到报错的虚拟机文件，并右键点击该虚拟机。
2.依次选择“管理” > “更改硬件兼容性”。
3.在弹出的界面中，选择与你当前 VMware Workstation 版本兼容的硬件版本。
4.确认修改并重新启动虚拟机，即可正常使用。
通过上述方法调整硬件兼容性，即可避免因版本不匹配引发的启动失败问题，有效提升虚拟机的兼容性与稳定性。
