In the video above, I walk through some of my recent upgrades to my home lab - which include two new Intel NUC 11 mini-PCs which will run ESX 7.0.

Since most of what I did in the video is specific to my home lab setup, I didn’t feel like it made as much sense to write out an entire step-by-step blog for the process.

That being said, I did still want a place to post links to everything I used in the video - including the actual hardware components & the VMware community drivers. So here’s where I’ll keep that info!

• Community driver for USB NIC Adapters
• Community driver for additional NIC support
