minus-squarehemmes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 days agoThe guest VM requires TPM to install Windows 11. It depends on your hypervisor platform. Some platforms can enable vTPM (emulated TPM) without host hardware support, like KVM with swtpm. Hyper-V can do passthrough TPM or emulate vTPM but still require the host to have hardware TPM enabled to do so.
