If not obvious - Win 11 VMs seem to continue working AND updating AND with both Dev&Beta content. Don't know how VM encryption is done right now on Workstation Player. The sticky situation is that encrypting the VM also encrypts the virtual disks which I think is the sticky situation that needs to be resolved.

Adding a virtual TPM requires the VM to be encrypted. UEFI, secure boot, virtual TPM has been available since version 14. The latest version of the PC Health Check app will give more details as to why a PC (physical or virtual) fails the Windows 11 requirements. Ran the latest PC Health Check app ( ) on a Windows 10 VM with UEFI, secure boot enabled, virtual TPM2.0 on Workstation Pro 15.5.7 (therefore only has DX10.1) on a Intel Coffee Lake CPU host, it passed the Windows 11 check. The DX12 is only required for gaming that will use the direct to GPU transfer from NVMe storage, bypassing the CPU and thus making games load faster.

The DX12 is not a minimum requirement for Windows 11. The SVGA 3D driver has been on the WDDM for a number of years.
