      Is it me or is it confusing to find what the latest version of ESXi Hypervisor is and what patches are available for other versions?

      I'm trying to see if my hosts need patching. Currently its on:-
      Product: VMware ESXi
      Version: 6.0.0
      Build: Releasebuild-3620759
      Update: 2
      Patch: 34

      I think the latest version is 6.5 but is my 6.0 on the latest patch??

      I find this confusing on most vendors websites, finding what's the latest version tbh.

        6.5 is indeed the latest version.

          @hobbit666 Normally you just use VUM and have it download the newest version 🙂

          If your old school you can just consult this handy KB and compare it to your build number. In your case you are a few patches behind on the 6.0 branch.
          Express Patch 7 is the newest in the 6.0 major release family.

            I just feel websites should display what's the latest version easier 😄 for us lazy people that can't be bothered to click though several pages and register just to see lol 😄
