Hyper-V VM Boot Issue on Surface Pro

Hi,

I am using a Surface Pro (11th edition) running Windows 11 Pro and attempting to create a virtual machine using Hyper-V. However, when booting from the Windows ISO file (downloaded directly from the Microsoft website), the expected message, "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD," does not appear, as shown in the attached screenshot.

I’ve tested the same ISO image on another laptop, and it works without any issues.

Your prompt assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

    Hi,

    Is this VM Generation 1 or 2? If it's generation 1, create a Generation 2 VM instead. If it's already Generation 2, open the VM Settings in Hyper-V Manager and navigate to Security, uncheck Enable Secure Boot and see if the issue persists.

    Additionally, ensure your laptop meet the Hyper-V hardware requirements and verify the hardware compatibility. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/hyper-v-requirements
