Windows 11, esxi 7 update 3 TPM

Hi there,

I have a Dell T130 server with a TPM 2.0 module configured to use SHA256.  I am trying to create a Windows 11 Pro VM but not seeing any TPM or vTPM within ESXi 7 update 3.  Can someone assist me, please?

Thanks

You have checked the requirements for using vTPM like key provider, UEFI Bios for VM and so on?

Hello,

My Dell T130 is set to UEFI - secure boot but I am a little lost with the key provider. Do I need to use Virtual centre for this?  If so, how do I get this?  Can vTPM not work directly with just ESXi?  Is there no other way to install Windows 11 Pro as TPM 2.0 is a requirement?

Thanks

vCenter is listet as a requirement. Take a look to https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-6F811A7A-D58B-47B... (scroll down).

Came across your post trying to get a migrated Win11 image to detect the TPM chip...

If your still looking, give this a shot: (registry tweak to ignore TPM on installation)

For my situation, this worked perfectly:
https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat

Download the file, Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd, or

  • open the link for the code
  • copy and paste it into a new text document and
  • save/rename the file with the extension of .cmd
  • run it once to disable the check
  • run it again if you want to undo it.
