Win 10 > Win 11 in VirtualBoz?
Running Virtual Box ver 6.1.30 in host Leap 15.2 with Win 10 as guest. Googling around produces much advice on installing Win 11 afresh in a VBox VM, but nothing about upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11 as one can do on original iron. Is the upgrade path in a VBox VM possible? If not at present, is it going to be? Anybody know???? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand

I understand that the normal update process in Windows 10 installs a tool (PC Health Check on update KB5005463) that verifies if the upgrade to 11 is advisable (and if the answer is yes, Will nag you constantly to upgrade) - -- Cheers Carlos E.

In my case the check tool invoked from the Win 10 VM produces a "no" answer on two counts relating to TPM and UEFI. But, as I understand it, VirtualBox versions >= 6.1.28 will meet the requirements (I'm at 6.1.30). As I said, there's plenty of advice out there on successfully installing Win 11 from scratch in a VBox VM, so it can be done. But there's nothing I can find about upgrading to Win 11 from within a running Win 10 as one can do on iron (and as I've done successfully with two Win 10 laptops, including one running Leap 15.2 in a VirtualBox VM). So the question remains, is there a pathway to upgrading Win 10 to Win 11 within a running VirtualBox Win 10 VM, or am I confined to taking the fresh install route only? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand

Microsoft came to demand a hardware important matter same as a PC in the virtual environment.
