I use VirtualBox and I think this affects all virtual machine models as well.
I got Windows 11 pre release working in VirtualBox with Larry Finger's help - ok, one wrong setting.
Now the final release today of Windows 11 says no-go because no TPM2.0 exists. It is enabled in my Dell BIOS.
Does VirtualBox or QEMU or any virtualization provide TPM2.0 to allow Windows 11 to run virtually?
I copied Opensuse Factory as they may have an answer.
This is really going to affect companies like Walmart that use Windows in vmware to provide virtual desktops to employees and contractors.
Larry, In "https://www.techradar.com/news/dont-worry-oracle-virtualbox-vms-actually-wil...", the following statement occurs: ================================================= Oracle has confirmed it is working on a new version of its VirtualBox VM software that will adhere to the new Windows 11 requirements. Speaking to TechRadar Pro over email, an Oracle spokesperson explained the company is currently working on a “virtual TPM emulation feature” for VirtualBox 7, which will allow the software to run Windows 11 in a virtual machine. Oracle could not say precisely when the new version will be ready, but wanted to assure customers that the necessary work is underway and that future VirtualBox releases will support Microsoft’s new operating system (which is set to launch on October 5). Separately, Oracle also appears to be developing a new driver that could act as a workaround of sorts. By passing through the TPM on a host machine, VirtualBox could remain in line with Windows 11 requirements without providing a fully-fledged virtual TPM. ================================================= As we are currently at Version 6.1.26, they are planning a new release of 7.0.x to have this feature. If you really want Windows 11 earlier, the Web is full of articles on how to override the TPM 2.0 requirement. Note that full Windows 11 also requires secure boot. Larry
