I create a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise template and upgraded the hardware to version 1. I built some servers from the template and now I need to downgrade the hardware to version 8. I found the VMware Converter process, create a new VM and attach the existing disks, and edit the hardware version in the .vmx file. I have read that editing the .vmx file isn't supported. I tested the process of creating a new VM and attaching the existing disks and it works. I also tested editing the vmx file, and it works also. Why isn't editing the .vmx file supported?
