Refus3.4.exe the .iso file to a 16GB USB 2.0 flash drive.

ESXi 6.5 requires 2 cores, x64 CPU after 2006-09, Enable Inter XS or AMD NX, at least 4GB RAM, Intel VT-x or AMD RVI, GBE.

I am using it on Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.4 GHz CPU with VT-x and VT-d supported and 32 GB RAM installed on Dell Precision 3420.

I mostly refer to https://ithelp.ithome.com.tw/articles/10184288 and it works well.
