Previously created VMs running Insider Preview builds may not update to the latest preview builds. "This build includes a change that aligns the enforcement of the Windows 11 system requirements on Virtual Machines (VMs) to be the same as it is for physical PCs. Microsoft this week suddenly did an about-face without ample warning and is now enforcing the Windows 11 system requirements on virtual machines (VMs). So, while Microsoft recommends that all virtualized instances of the Windows 11 follow the same minimum hardware requirements as described in Section 1.2, the Windows 11 does not apply the hardware-compliance check for virtualized instances either during setup or upgrade," explains Microsoft in their Windows 11 minimum hardware requirements document. "Microsoft recognizes that the user experience when running the Windows 11 in virtualized environments may vary from the experience when running non-virtualized.
However, as the enterprise and software developers commonly use virtual machines to test new operating systems, Microsoft said that Windows 11 would not check for compatible hardware when installed or upgraded. When Microsoft first announced Windows 11, they stated that computers needed new system requirements to install the operating system, including a TPM 2.0 security processor and Secure Boot.Įven though many people were angry with these new hardware requirements, Microsoft has not wavered as these components are used to power numerous security features in Windows 11. Windows 11 is no longer compatible with the immensely popular Oracle VirtualBox virtualization platform after Microsoft changed its hardware requirement policies for virtual machines.
