virtualbox.org

I downloaded the official Win11 Pro build from microsoft's VS subscriptions
Using manager version 6.1.26
Set up the vbox according to the guidelines -
verified my PC's TPM is active (BIOS),
PC virtualization is enabled (task manager)
set the vbox memory to 6GB and HDD to 128GB
verified the display is VBoxsVGA



And yet, when I try the installation, I keep getting the message "This PC can't run Windows 11", no further explanation is provided

What else can I do to resolve the issue?

Thanks

See for example klaus' post in Windows 11 on VB 6.1.26 on PC with no TPM.

I already saw that post by Klaus. It does not address my type of issue. I do have TPM 2.0 enabled

Not in any VirtualBox 6.1.26 VM you don't.

Thanks, but I am not getting the option to install, only the message that "This PC can't run Windows 11"

How do I enable TPM in the VM then?

There is no way to enable TPM emulation in the current (6.1.26) release, because no such feature exists. I believe it will be available in the next release (date unknown). In the meantime there are workarounds already discussed: or Google for how to install Win11 without TPM: I did so yesterday with no problem, using one of the unofficial media creation tools turned up by Google. Microsoft documents suitable registry hacks, so the only trick is to fold those hacks into a Win11 installer ISO.
