#USING VMWARE WORKSTATION 11 INSTALL#
Want to know more? Read my other blog post called “ Install Windows 11 on VMware vSphere with a virtual TPM“. VMware vSphere supports a Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) that emulates a physical TPM 2.0 without having one. This procedure is not officially supported of course! For example, you may not receive security updates in the future if you bypass the hardware requirements such as TPM. With this procedure, you can run Windows 11 on hardware that doesn’t have a TPM 2.0 chip.

There is a registry hack available to bypass the TPM 2.0 check. During the installation, Windows will check for the presence of a TPM 2.0, if not available the installation will fail. My VMware ESXi servers at home don’t have a TPM 2.0. Windows 11 require a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 ( link). Yesterday Windows 11 is officially released.
