Windows 11 in virtualbox not working

Go to solution Solved by NumLock21,

The latest version of Virtual Box does not have TPM so that tutorial will not work. Will need for them to come up with a newer version of virtual box later down the road or use another type of virtual machine like Microsoft Hyper V or QMEU.

In Hyper V, it lets you enable 2 of the following requirements to run Windows 11, secure boot and TPM.

Hiya

 

So I've been trying to get Windows 11 to run in the latest version of VirtualBox, 6.1. However no matter what I seem to try it just doesn't want to install and keeps saying that my PC is unsupported.

 

I have a Windows 11 ready PC, my current Windows 10 install even says so.
i5 8400
16GB DDR4

GTX 1050 Ti
TPM 2.0 enabled

Secure boot enabled

BIOS set to UEFI

 

So here's what I've tried:
I've tried to regedit method: before clicking "install now" during setup, launch cmd and with it regedit and create a new key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > Setup called LabConfig. In it create DWORD (32-bit) entries for BypassSecureBootCheck, BypassTPMCheck and BypassRAMCheck

I have tried changing out the appraiserres.dll file for a downloaded one that I got from an article that I can't find real quick. Tried to make an image of all the folders and files using ImgBurn but there's something about labels that I don't understand and it tried to do it for me but VirtualBox can't boot from it so that's a no go for now.

I have followed this guide step by step, including all the settings for my VM:
https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/post/install-microsoft-windows-11-on-virtualbox

However even with this it keeps saying that my PC isn't compatible.

 

The ISO that I'm using is made using Microsoft's media creation tool for Windows 11 literally at the day of writing this so it's the newest you can make but still nothing.

 

Now I know, I could just upgrade and all that. But I don't want to. I want to try it in a virtual machine first but I can't get it to work.

If anyone can help me with this it'd be much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!

Okay so since I'm on W10 Home I had to use a different method to get Hyper V since QEMU didn't want to work but it works now! I always thought hyper V was something similar to unraid, that it runs in between your hardware and your VMs as just a layer instead of it being a virtual machine software that you could just run within windows.

But thank you for your help!
