Windows 11 64bit arm problem

[Kyuzo]

I just installed version 13 on my MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Pro chip and Monterey OS, but I can't start Windows 11 64bit ARM in any way. I tried with the version that provides VMware directly but nothing, so I tried with an iso created with UUP, and with a vmdk created starting from the official windows vhdx. Do you have any advice?

VMware does not provide a version of Windows 11 ARM - you must either use the Windows 11 on ARM Insider Preview VHDX file or an ISO built from uupdump.net.

Without you saying exactly what you did, I can't pinpoint where you might have gone wrong.

See the attached excerpt from the upcoming unofficial companion guide that I'm putting together and publishing shortly. This should help you get Windows 11 on ARM running.

thanks for the Companion guide.

So, I only created a new VM starting from a WIndows11ARM.iso and in the first boot the system show me the previous screenshot

Where did you get that ISO? 

[Kyuzo]

I get the ISO from uupdump.net

Is strange, now it works!!

I have not selected Boot Secure (instead in the guide it is written to select it)

[Technogeezer]

IMO there's not a reason not to enable Secure Boot for the VM as it's documented by Microsoft that they want it. The decision to include it in the guide was editorial license.

If you have a  good reason,  I'll listen, though.
