I have 6 VGA/DVI 27” monitors and I bought 6 DP to DVI adapters but only 2 of the monitors turn on.
Is there different adapters that will allow all 6 of my current monitors to turn on?
or does it just not work with VGA/DVI monitors at all no matter what adapters I have?
if I bought 6 new monitors that have DisplayPort will I be able to run all 6?
what if I bought 6 monitors that have HDMI and got 6 DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to HDMI cables. Will that work?

At least four of the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters have to be ACTIVE adapters, such as:

The one in your picture is MDP2DVI
and is not Active.
The one I linked is MDP2DVIS
and is active.
The only active one sold by Apple is the dual-link DVI model, and is hasn't been available from Apple for several years.
So where do you find the active ones? Apples website says they are all sold out. https://www.apple.com/sg_smb_5200/shop/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-adapter
The one you linked looks like the one I have already and it doesn't work.
Is the Apple part number MB570LL/B not an active adapter? I have 4 of them. Not working.
They do not claim to be ACTIVE adapters. that generally means they are NOT.
