Problems with Windows 11 in VirtualBox? Check your setup and try restarting both OSes.
Hi there. I've been attempting to run Windows 11 inside VirtualBox version 6.1, but it seems to refuse installation and keeps stating my PC isn't supported. My system runs Windows 11, while the current Windows 10 setup clearly indicates compatibility. My hardware specs are an i5 8400 with 16GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 1050 Ti, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot enabled, and UEFI configured. I've tried several fixes: using regedit to bypass security checks, replacing the appraiserres.dll file with one from an online source, and even creating a bootable image with ImgBurn. However, VirtualBox won't boot from those images. I followed the official installation guide step by step, but it still flags my system as incompatible. The ISO I'm using is the latest version available through Microsoft's tools, yet it doesn't work. I'm considering upgrading to Windows 11 directly, but I'd prefer to test it in a VM first. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead.
The current release of Virtual Box lacks TPM support, which means this guide won't function. Future updates may need a newer version of Virtual Box or alternative virtualization options such as Microsoft Hyper V or QMEU. In Hyper V, you can activate two of the following features to run Windows 11, secure boot, and TPM.
AFAIK Windows 11 doesn't work in VirtualBox right now. You'll need to wait until it's updated.
I switched to a different approach on W10 Home because QEMU wasn't functioning properly, but it now works smoothly. I usually thought Hyper-V would act like Unraid, sitting between hardware and VMs as an intermediary layer rather than being a standalone VM software. Thanks for your assistance!
