Win 11 support ?

[neeraj.vasudeva]

Hi,

Looking at the list of guest o/s support by Oracle VirtualBox, it seems that Win 11 is not supported.
Any idea if there is a plan to support Win 11 as a guest o/s on Oracle VirtualBox ?

Not sure, if someone has already attempted running Win 11 successfully ?

Do you think, i don't have any option other than to move to Parallels software ?

Windows 10
Windows 11 21H2
...

3.1. Supported Guest Operating Systems
...
Platforms With Full Support.
Windows 11 (64-bit) Insider preview builds are not supported
Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit) Insider preview builds are not supported
Windows 8 and 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
...

Looks like 11 is covered both ways.

That's interesting !
Thanks for your response !

Do you know why this official VirtualBox page https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes doesn't list Win 11 as supported guest ?

It says in the opening paragraph on that page "Page last updated 2020-02-24", so the information is clearly way out date given the number of VirtualBox updates/upgrades released over the last 3+ years.

yaah and ironically this link is from the main page where there is a link to click to find out list of Supported guest o/s.

Hope the site admin takes a note of it. If you know who is the site admin, appreciate if you can tag him to this post.
