Microsoft now offers a way to Bypass TPM 2.0 and CPU Requirements to Install Windows 11 if you currently have Windows 10 in your virtual machine and want to upgrade it to Windows 11.OTTAWA, Feb. From here, you’ll need to download the Windows 11 ISO and mount it and go through the setup process. You’ll want to set the other minimum hardware requirements such as disk space, memory and CPUs. This should complete the steps needed to add the hardware requirements for Windows 11 to be able to install it as a virtual machine in Parallels.

In Boot Flags, type this command: vm.efi.secureboot=1.

Secure Boot in UEFI should be enabled by default, but if it isn’t:

Open the Virtual Machine’s configuration.

The other hardware minimum requirements for Windows 11 include 4GB RAM and a 64GB hard drive. Parallels Desktop 17 adds support for a virtual TPM on Mac computers with Apple M1 chip. Parallels Desktop 17 adds support for virtual Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 in their Standard, Business and Pro editions. If you want to try Windows 11, you can install it as a virtual machine using virtualization software like Prallels on MacOS, including both Intel and M1 chips. The main requirements are the use of a TPM 2.0 chip ( TPM 2.0 can be enabled in your BIOS if you have current hardware) and Secure Boot. Windows 11 has more security requirements than previous versions of Windows.
