Having trouble installing clean Windows 11 on Hyper-V Windows 11

Rod 41

I have a Windows 11 PC and Hyper-V enabled. I successfully did a Quick Create option with Windows 11 Dev Environment virtual machine. However, when I try to create a Windows 11 VM from scratch I get error message "This PC can't run Windows 11".

Please advise,

Rodney

Hi，

It seems the Windows 11 Dev Environment VM is Generation 2 however the Windows 11 VM is Generation 1. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot capable UEFI so you have to create a Generation 2 VM to run Windows 11. Please check out the Windows 11 system requirements over here.
