Oh but you should try this new experimental and currently undocumented feature… Instead of encrypting and adding the TPM, just add this VMX flag instead: The tweak should work with VMWare Workstation Player 16.2/Fusion Player 12.2 and above. Under the hood, the flag partially encrypts the VM without a password. Nonetheless, you can still enable it using a nifty tweak.īack in October this year, Michael Roy, a VMWare Product Manager, confirmed that users of the free VMWare Workstation Player can enable TPM through an undocumented flag. Unlike its “Pro” sibling, VMWare Workstation Player doesn’t offer an option to add a virtualized TPM. Moreover, it cannot be started on another computer if copied or moved. Note that when the virtualized TPM is enabled, the virtual machine is restricted from running on other Macs.

Parallels Desktop 16 doesn’t support this feature on Mac computers with Apple M1 chip. In case you’ve a legacy version (like Parallels Desktop 15 and 16 for Intel-based Mac computers), a vTPM chip is available for Pro and Business Editions only. Starting version 17.1.0, Parallels Desktop enables the virtual TPM chip (vTPM) by default for all Windows 11 virtual machines - both new and existing - on Intel-based Macs as well as Apple M1-based Macs. The module can be seen by booting to the UEFI firmware and navigating to Device Manager => TCG2 Configuration. The hypervisor should automatically create a virtualized TPM device for the VM.

Next, create a VM instance from scratch and set the target OS as Windows 11. If you’re ready to play with the bleeding edge builds, then download the latest Oracle VM VirtualBox snapshot release from this page.
