A vTPM is a software-based representation of a physical Trusted Platform Module 2.0 chip and it acts as any other virtual device. VMware worked on the matter and TPM 2.0 is available as virtualization on ESXi 6.7 and 7.0 hosts. Microsoft has been strict on this requirement ahead of the Windows 11 general availability.īut what of the virtual machines? How can a Windows 11 VM be created all requirements considered? I will address those questions related to a VMware hypervisor. Likewise, Windows 11 will only run on PCs that have TPM capabilities. In fact, since July 2016, Microsoft has actually required TPM 2.0 support on all new PCs that run any version of Windows 10 for desktop (Home, Pro, Enterprise, or Education). TPMs are efficient methods securing Windows PCs. Its job is to protect data used to authenticate a PC, but a TPM device can also be used to maintain the platform integrity, facilitate disk encryption, store passwords and certificates, the list goes on. Short recall: TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module as defined by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) responsible for maintaining TPM standards, and it is most of the time a physical device, usually on the motherboard. I went through the journey to install a Windows 11 VM and I share here my experience. And when it comes to the virtualization of a Windows 11 workstation, this is again a different story. Along with that, a long list of not supported CPUs. Many users have been excited by the arrival of Windows 11 to learn that one of the main requirements is the TPM 2.0, creating a lot of confusion around the migration.
