hello, welcome to NETVN channel
In this video I show you how to install ESXi on your computer
By default when you install ESXi on your computer there will be problems with network drivers
So you customize the default installer to install on your computer
First you download the appropriate network driver for your computer
You find the name of the computer network driver here
In this case my network card is called Realtek 8168
Here is a list of network drivers
After identifying the network card you download the corresponding driver
I downloaded the network driver for my computer
So how to add it to the ESXi installer? Watch to see how to do it
You use the ESXi installer customization tool as above
I put the download link in the description
You browse to the file with the extension iso
Then you browse to the downloaded file, which is the network driver you want to add to the installer
You set up where to store the resulting file
Next you click Run and wait
After a while you will have a custom ESXi installer
This installer helps you to install ESXi on an unsupported computer
It has added network drivers suitable for your computer
To create a bootable installer you use a USB drive of at least 1 GB in size
Next you use one of the bootable installer tools, in this case I used a tool called Rufus
Rufus is a compact and easy-to-use tool for creating bootable installers
It only takes about 30 seconds to finish creating a custom ESXi installer
Now you restart your computer and start the installation
You access the UEFI BIOS and set the computer's boot order
You set up the target computer to boot from the newly created USB drive
You follow the steps above to install ESXi on your computer
Here you choose the hard drive to install
During the installation you are required to create an administrator account for this virtualization system
Don't forget this password, because it will be used in the next step
Here you remove the USB stick from the target computer and reboot
And this is the first boot after completing the installation
Because the installer has been installed by the network driver, the computer will be connected to the network and receive an ip address
From another computer I access the newly installed virtualization system using the ip address
So I have finished demonstrating how to install ESXi on an unsupported computer

On the ESXi management page you will see the network card name, it is exactly what I showed in this video
