    Without knowing what isn't working, there is no way to know how to fix it.

    What is the error? Not just the last line, the full output.

    Using update command not enough. You need to do full upgrade.

    How to upgrade Kali Linux 2019.x to Kali Linux 2020.x
    Note: # prompt means you are in root mode.
    ---------------------
    Step 1: Enable official Kali repositories (Type all 3 lines)
    # tee /etc/apt/sources.list<<EOF
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
    EOF


    Step 2: Check current release
    # cat /etc/os-release
    PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
    NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
    ID=kali
    VERSION="2019.4"
    VERSION_ID="2019.4"
    VERSION_CODENAME="kali-rolling"
    ID_LIKE=debian
    ANSI_COLOR="1;31"
    HOME_URL="https://www.kali.org/"
    SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.kali.org/"
    BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.kali.org/"


    Step 3: Do full upgrade.
    # apt update
    # apt -y full-upgrade


    Step 4: Reboot
    # [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ] && reboot -f


    Step 5: Check upgraded release
    # cat /etc/os-release
    PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
    NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
    ID=kali
    VERSION="2020.1"
    VERSION_ID="2020.1"
    VERSION_CODENAME="kali-rolling"
    ID_LIKE=debian
    ANSI_COLOR="1;31"

    Creating a VM and the installation process of the operating system is not difficult, and a GUI provides useful understandable tips and comments. The key requirement is to configure a USB wireless network adapter connected to a VM by using a pass-through mode. This enables all hardware-based adapter?s features from an isolated VM with Kali Linux for packet analyzing. Installing Kali Linux on an ESXi VM is similar to installing Kali on a VMware Workstation VM. You can also use VMware vCenter Converter to convert a VM of the Workstation format to a VM of the ESXi format.
