Hyper-V showed This PC can't run Windows 11

Eaven HUANG 2,126

Dear experts,

I've enabled TPM 2.0 in my HP laptop but when I tried to create a VM for Win11, it always showed that it didn't meet the system requirement.

Any ideas?

1.Right Click the virtual machine
2.Click Settings
3.Click Security
4.Mark ‘Enable Trusted Platform Module
5.Click Processor
6.Change ‘Number of virtual processors’ to a minimum of ‘2’

So when you tell Hyper-V to create a Win 11 VM it configures the environment so that Win 11 fails to install? You have to laugh - Windows - designed to fail

Hmmm Ran into the same issue, but I don't see #4 "Mark ‘Enable Trusted Platform Module" . That setting does not exist. All I see is "Encryption Support" Tried toggling that on/off and no difference.

That may be due to your computer's TPM being disabled in the UEFI, or the lack of one. When you go to Device Manager, do you see a device category called "Security devices"?

I had to disable Secure Boot also to get it to work.

And check you have enough allocated RAM

Windows is smart enough to tell you that it cannot be installed, but too dumb to tell you why.

Hyper-V is too dumb to set the correct minimum RAM requirements.

Honestly Microsoft, you can do much better.

THIS was my problem. My Windows 11 VM was installed and running and never had an issue. I just recently noticed it was telling me in the Windows Insight Program settings that it didn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11 and I was so confused. I had recently added a couple of VMs and lowered the amount of RAM the Windows 11 VM was allowed to use. Changed that setting back to allow it to use more RAM and the issue went away. Crazy... Thank you!
