There are many who try them Windows 11 in virtual machines.
Until now, installing Windows 11 has been fairly easy, simply because the first preview versions had no special requirements.
But the latest previews of Windows 11 available to users on the Dev and Beta channels are beginning to impose TPM 2.0 even on virtual PCs, thus aligning them with stand-alone systems.
In other words, Microsoft is starting to impose system requirements everywhere, so in theory, you will no longer be able to run Windows 11 on a virtual machine unless TPM 2.0 is enabled.
“This build includes a change that aligns the enforcement of Windows 11 system requirements on virtual machines to be the same as that of regular PCs. Previously created virtual machines running Insider Preview builds may not be updated to the latest preview builds. In Hyper-V, virtual machines must be created as Generation 2 virtual machines . For more details on Windows 11 system requirements – see this post ,” Microsoft says.
Windows 11 is expected to roll out to supported devices next month, with the first wave of updates set for October 5. Microsoft has promised to make Windows 11 available to all eligible PCs by mid-2022.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
