Hello @license5 

What is the actual IOS version ?

Refer to the release note to determine if it is a major release. Always best pratice to go step by step if a lot software version is aded at each step. it is is not the case, you can jump to your 16.6.8.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3650/software/release/16-6/release_notes/ol-16-6-3650.html#pgfId-1453025

Both the WS-C3650-24TSL and WS-C3650-24TSS switches support stacking. The Catalyt 3650 series, including these models, is designed to support StackWise-160 technology, which allows you to combine multiple switches into a single logical unit.

Stacking Details:

  • Stacking Bandwidth: The 3650 series supports 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth using StackWise-160.
  • Maximum Stack Members: You can stack up to 9 switches in a single stack.
  • Stacking Cables: Ensure you have the appropriate stacking cables to physically connect the switches.

Sources: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3650-series-switches/data_sheet-c78-729449.html.

Ensure that all switches in the stack are running the same IOS version (preferably the same exact version, such as 16.6.8). Mixing different IOS versions in a stack can cause compatibility issues and instability.
