VirtualBoxĪlthough there are a number of popular VM programs out there, VirtualBox is completely free, open-source, and awesome. There’s no need for constant backups and restores. If something goes wrong, whether with software installations or by infecting your system with a virus, you can easily switch back to a previous snapshot. This lets you experiment freely with your environment. You can, at any point, save the state of your machine with a “snapshot” and revert back to that state if you need to. Because you can configure your virtual hardware, you can even install an old OS like DOS or OS/2. You can run software written for one OS on another without needing to reboot. Close the Command Prompt, go back one step, then continue as normal and you'll be able to complete the Windows 11 installation process.Virtual machines allow you to run more than one OS at a time. This will add the necessary instructions into the registry to skip checks for both TPM and Secure Boot. REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassSecureBootCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 When you reach the error screen, hit Shift + F10 to open a Command Prompt and enter the following two commands. So, we'll just tell our VM to skip those checks. Likewise, some can inject a virtual TPM, but most, again like VirtualBox, cannot currently. Some VM software, such as VMware, can handle the Secure Boot aspect, but VirtualBox, for example, cannot. This is down to two key Windows 11 hardware requirements: TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Whichever virtual machine tool you're using to install a Windows 11 VM with on Linux there's one thing you're more than likely going to come up against: an error saying your PC can't install it.
