TPM 2.0

We've successfully installed the Windows Server 2019 guest OS on the VMware ESXI hypervisor. We made sure to enable the TPM 2.0, Intel (R) TXT, and Safe Boot settings in the BIOS. However, we're having trouble locating the TPM 2.0 option in the guest operating system. We're currently using the freeware VMware-VMvisor-Installer-8.0b-21203435.x86_64, which is compatible with TPM 2.0?

vCenter Server is a pre-requisite and the ESXi host must be part of a vSphere Cluster. Also physical TPM chip is NOT required if you only intend to use it for GuestOS. See https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-security/GUID-6F811A7A-D58B-47B4-84B4-73391D55... for more information and here's an example of how this would look https://williamlam.com/2022/10/how-to-install-windows-11-arm-with-a-vtpm-using-esxi-arm-v1-11.html
