Hardware Compatibility - VM

I have a DC that I want to be on a standalone host, however the issue I have is that the host I have is running ESX 6.7 the VM is running on an ESX 7.2 host.

This causes compatibility issues moving it from the higher ESX version. 

Any chances this can be ignored or a way to “downgrade” the hardware compatibility?

Else this will need the ESX version upgrading.

option 1) you can use vmware converter and select hardware version.

Option 2) create a new VM in 6.7 host and attach exisitng disks to that vm. ( this is possible only if storage is shared between both esxi hosts)
