- The first step should be followed by downloading the ESXi 6.7 ISO and make a bootable CD or DVD.
- Then the user can directly use the virtual mounting by a virtual image.

Step 4:
In the next step the user should select the disk on which they want to install ESXi 6.7. The moment the disk is selected the user should press enter and continue the whole process safely. Selecting the disk will also appear on the screen and so it will also assist the user clearly in this case.
