Can't Create Windows 11 Hyper-V VM

Can't Create Windows 11 Hyper-V VM

Anonymous

I'm seeing the following issue on both of the following:

Dell Precision Workstation set up with a personal windows account, running Windows 11 Pro.
HP ZBook set up with a corporately managed account, running Windows 10 Enterprise.

I'm using the following Win 11 image as the boot image for installing Win 11 on the Hyper-V VM:
en-us_windows_11_business_editions_updated_march_2022_x64_dvd_b868841d.iso

I create a VM with the following characteristics:

Generation 2
Secure Boot enabled
4096 MB memory
4 virtual processors
A network adaptor to a wired ethernet connection.

When I start the VM, I have to immediately reset it, and then hit the space key to even get it to boot. (It took me a while and some web investigation to figure that out.) Once I got it to boot, I select Windows 11 Pro from the list of available OSs. The installer then tells me that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11.

What am I missing?

Hi,

Have you enabled the TPM functionality on the virtual machine? You can select the Enable Trusted Platform Module checkbox in the virtual machine settings or use the Enable-VMTPM.command.

You can check the system requirements over here
