Finally the uncertainty about CPU and TPM restrictions would soon be resolved, with all the tools needed to get some answers for myself. Of course, I was like a kid in a candy store this week, downloading all those bits to get cracking on some serious home lab testing, in hopes of soon declaring these fresh bits TinkerTry'd. Will all be required once Windows 11 goes GA late 2021 It'll be interesting to see if UEFI, Secure Boot, and maybe even vTPM It sure does, thank you prepended a link to Al's clean-install-from-ISO method All that aside, what about running it as a VM? Specifically, does it work fine under VMware vSphere, using the latest ESXi 7.0 Update 3? Let's find out!įor some context here, back on August 2 2021, Al Rasheed asked me if this helps, in response, I wrote: Windows 11 has had quite a bit of attention since it's release as a Windows Insider Preview, and much of the controversy has surrounded the ability to run it under systems without TPM 2.0 or with CPUs as little as 3 years old. To my delight and surprise, both VMware vSphere 7.0 Update 3 and Microsoft Windows 11 went GA on the same exact day, October 5 2021! Of course Microsoft wants you to use Hyper-V instead, but let's not debate that one. The integrated support of VMware vSphere 7.0-Update2+ adding vTPM 2.0 is fully supported, regardless of your real host/server CPU, under the Microsoft virtualization enterprise support contracts - so in the "real world" this means that's the ONLY solution. Basically it's a time-bomb that one day will basically shut you down. As an end-user, by using those dev hacks, one day you will NOT get future Windows 11 Updates. They were intended only for Microsoft-internal developers working on the Win11 project, before vTPM's came along. You definitely do NOT want to use one of those Windows 11 hacks to bypass TPM 2.0 and CPU checks for install.
