Is your VM a Fedora VM or a Windows VM?
Hi Ed, my vm is Vmware Player on a Windows 10 host. It has also just
had an update to provide Windows 11 support, which I also assume
means it now supports UEFI even though there is not an explicit
setting for it. UEFI support raises some questions about how Fedora
installs are done, but that is a question for another thread.
Sorry, I'm still a bit confused.
It sounds to me like you're running Windows 11 on bare metal
hardware. I say this since you wrote "Windows 10 host"
It then sounds to me that your running Fedora as a guest in Vmware
Player.
Is that your configuration?
Hi Ed, yes, Fedora is a guest in Vmware Player, with Vmware Player
running on a Windows 10 host. The Vmware Player upgrade I was referring
to has now provided Vmware player (apparently) with the ability to run
Windows 11 as a guest, which previously there appeared to be no way to
run Windows 11 as a guest. I have the windows 11 installer on a usb
disk, so I could install Windows 10 as a guest and then try upgrading to
Windows 11. Virtualbox, on a Windows 10 host, already had the support
for UEFI (it is a selectable option in the Virtualbox configuration),
and to me a stupid Windows 11 support implementation, in that if I run
Virtualbox in windowed mode, Windows 11 says the environment is not
suitable for installation, but if I switch Virtualbox into Full Screen
mode, then Windows 11 installs quite happily. I don't know if the fact
that on my system the tpm (I think that is what the hardware is called)
is implemented in the motherboard bios rather than a physical piece of
hardware, and I don't understand what the difference between windowed
mode and full screen mode is that would allow that "device" to be
detected in one and not the other.
It's probably not the TPM, but more likely that the screen resolution is
too low. Unless you have some indication that it is the TPM that it's
complaining about.
