This is called Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM). With VMware vSphere and VMware Workstation, it is possible to install Windows 11 by using a vTPM device that emulates a physical TPM 2.0 chipset without having one. You can just add a virtual TPM in Workstation or vSphere, too. Bob Plankers ( replied on Twitter that virtual TPM can be used too. Paul Braren from created a cool video ( link) about installing Windows 11 on VMware vSphere using my blog article. In this blog article, I explained how to install Windows 11 without having a TPM 2.0 chipset by using a registry hack. Yesterday I wrote a blog called “ Install Windows 11 as VM on VMware vSphere / Workstation without TPM 2.0 chipset“.
