Can I take advantage of this virtual machine to facilitate a Windows upgrade of the host computer?

Hi,

I am trying to see through this virtual machine which was upgraded by the Evaluation Edition to Windows 11 corresponding the host's computer Windows 10 Pro edition.

On account of the virtual machine's Windows 11 device, it requests Windows be activated because the product key is partially utilized and is offered troubleshooting in Settings. The product key is the same as with the host computer's Windows 10 device and possibly it's not yet safe to troubleshoot it?

I do have the option to simply upgrade (server download) without keeping anything and against the unqualified classifications of the host computer (CPU unsupported and capability -yet absent- of only 1.2 TMP). But maybe there is a way to be integrated or absorbed the virtual machine's operating system by the host computer? Could there be indicated what procedure closely resembles that scenario?

While not supported, is there a manner of simplification to sustain preoccupation with the matter?

Actually I get also this message in Windows Update of the Virtual Machine 11, which is sort of unintelligible whether it refers to the build or to 22h2 (a 2024 iso file was used to upgrade the evaluation edition).

Then it looks like older 11 installations like the 22h2 are not eligible to follow up with Windows Update in Windows 11? However Windows Update worked successfully with the rest of the updates there in virtual environment (cumultative, security, and netfx).
