Situatie
Although during the development process, Microsoft is not enforcing the security requirements to install Windows 11, eventually, you may not be able to install the OS on a VMware Workstation virtual machine due to the lack of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Secure Boot.
A TPM is a piece of hardware that offers cryptographic functions, such as generating and storing encryption keys to enable features like Windows Hello, BitLocker, and others. Secure Boot is a firmware technology that protects the boot process so that malware (such as rootkits) cannot attack the trusted OS during startup.
