After the wizard finishes you need to restart the VM.Īfter the reboot you can enjoy a more appropriate resolution. Click on 'Virtual Machine' -> 'Install VMware Tools'ĭoubleclick 'setup64' to install VMware Tools and run through the installation wizard. Once you are done with setup you can install VMware Tools to add to relevant drivers to Windows 11. If you are happy with your settings go ahead and boot the VM and follow the Windows installation steps. Now you can change the amount of virtual CPU and Memory that is allocated to the VM, you can also opt to enable hypervisor applications in the VM if you want to make use of WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which uses Hyper-V to run a Linux distribution on Windows 11. You do this by selecting 'Advanced'Ĭlick the 'Disable Side Channel Mitigations' checkbox Optionally you can disable side channel mitigations to improve the performance (but obviously lower its security posture) of the VM. Select 'Trusted Platform Module' and click 'Add.'Īcknowledge the information pane and click on 'Show All' You can do this by going back to all settings and clicking ' Add Device.' on the top right
Next we need to add a Trusted Platform Module as that is a prerequisite for Windows 11. Next click on 'Encryption' and enter a password of your choice
Instead of selecting Finish, go ahead and click Customize Settings if you want to change the name of the VM or the location of the files, if not, click Finish.
Select UEFI and optionally UEFI Secure Boot Next we run Fusion and create a new VM using the "install from disc or image" option. Follow the steps below to avoid the dreaded "this machine is not compatible with Windows 11" message because a (v)TPM is missing by default.įirst step is to acquire an ISO image which you can find here: I needed a Windows 11 VM to do some testing and since I currently don't have any Windows hardware anymore I decided to use VMware Fusion on my (intel) mac instead.
