Question I want to install Win 11 onto a Virtual Box BUT.......

[LeeRex]

.....I can't seem to find a reliable solution. I've watched countless videos that guaranty a fix but, so far, nothing works. Most send me into the registry but the new keys I create are ignored. All of the new keys start with bypass this and that (TPMCheck, Secure Boot, etc.) I may have stumbled upon the problem, though. Supposedly I can't do this if I have NO TPM installed at all, and I don't. If true, then I'm wasting my time. So I want to know if there is any realistic way to play around with Win 11 in the Virtual Box?
Your insights appreciated!

Are you running VBox 7? From what I read it has added TPM and secureboot support. Haven’t tried it yet.

Am using VBox 7. Yes, Win 11 supports TPM & secureboot, but Win 10 doesn't. So when I try to bypass all the registry stuff, it has nothing to bypass and so it freezes. Now I could be wrong in the way I'm looking at this and so I am willing to be corrected.

Download rufus and use that to take the win11 iso and create a new usb it will remove all the restrictions.

rufus changed a bit and now will give you these options AFTER you pressed start.

If vbox doesn't support usb boot use plop boot manager.

I've created a bootable USB with the Win11.iso on it using Rufus. Now to get the .iso onto the VBox. The iso that remains on my desktop starts and bypasses all of the Windows requirements. So I backed out of the install fearing that it was replacing Windows 10. Not what I want. But if I look at the USB I see the setup file but am hesitant to push it. Will the setup do the heavy lifting to send it to the VBox which, btw, is fully prepped and ready to go? Before I go for it though, I'll make another pass through the link you sent. Thanks!

that was for 2021 win 11 build
year later (may 2022), that registry keys got changed
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ndows-11-e0edbbfb-cfc5-4011-868b-2ce77ac7c70e

• Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
• Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
• Type: REG_DWORD
• Value: 1
• (at least TPM 1.2 is required)

poking around github with media creation bypass for win 11 (2022 22H2), it uses same registry

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup /f /v AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMorCPU /d 1 /t reg_dword >nul

so you kinda need tpm 1.2 unless you want to use some very old win 11 build
