The company is cracking down on the ability to install Windows 11 on older PCs that don’t support TPM 2.0
But still runs fine in a VM (where it belongs to) on Linux on a system without TPM, right?

1 0 ReplyGuest VM? Nested VM? Does the VM or the host system need TPM?
2 0 ReplyThe guest VM requires TPM to install Windows 11.
It depends on your hypervisor platform. Some platforms can enable vTPM (emulated TPM) without host hardware support, like KVM with swtpm.
Hyper-V can do passthrough TPM or emulate vTPM but still require the host to have hardware TPM enabled to do so.
