Dear experts, I've enabled TPM 2.0 in my HP laptop but when I tried to create a VM for Win11, it always showed that it didn't meet the system requirement. Any ideas?

1.Right Click the virtual machine 2.Click Settings 3.Click Security 4.Mark ‘Enable Trusted Platform Module 5.Click Processor 6.Change ‘Number of virtual processors’ to a minimum of ‘2’

Make sure to stop the service and start it again after making changes from Hyper-V manager right panel.

So when you tell Hyper-V to create a Win 11 VM it configures the environment so that Win 11 fails to install? You have to laugh - Windows - designed to fail

Hmmm Ran into the same issue, but I don't see #4 "Mark ‘Enable Trusted Platform Module" . That setting does not exist. All I see is "Encryption Support" Tried toggling that on/off and no difference.

That may be due to your computer's TPM being disabled in the UEFI, or the lack of one. When you go to Device Manager, do you see a device category called "Security devices"?

I had to disable Secure Boot also to get it to work.

Not able to find the option to ‘Enable Trusted Platform Module' under Security.

To be crystal clear, this works when creating a "Generation 2" virtual machine.

This DOES NOT WORK when attempting to create a "Generation 1" VM

Can't remove duplicate comment... Hey Microsoft, it might be smart to allow a user to remove a comment.

For the record, it's been consistent for me so far that it'll fire up Windows 11 Pro if the following specifications are met:

TPM enabled

2+ virtual processors

4096 minimum RAM (if using dynamic memory, minimum needs to be 2048MB but, in the top Memory box, you've gotta have 4096GB.

Hyper-V on Server 2022 is still too stupid to notify you (or automatically set) these minimums, and, of course, Microsoft's URL at aka.ms\WIndowsSysReq couldn't be more vague and open-ended (because Microsoft).

Good luck!
