Hi, my first post because I have not been able to answer this myself. This current setup is installed in a SMB, as such the company has an essentials license (3 host). So whatever I do here has to work on an essentials license. I have used ESXi on IBMs in this company for years now, from ESXi 4 and now on 7 U3. In 12 years of running ESXi on IBMs, we have only once had any downtime on a backup server related to VMware. This is rock solid software. I have installed the Product Evaluation Center for VMware vSphere 7.0 Update3d and it works a treat on our current IBM/Lenovo servers. No upgrade issues from 6.7 U3. Some performance tuning to get ESXi 7 going well on a brand new SR650, but going like a rocket. Mostly the company runs Windows servers and Linux mail systems. But there are a handful of Win 10 VMs. The question is of course about TPM on Win 11... I understand that vTPM is only supported on enterprise licenses? What about SMBs running essentials? If we are unable to run a couple of Win 11 VMs on our vSphere that is a showstopper. I don't want to hack the install, because MS is likely to cease support for the OS upgrades etc. I run into the error "The host does not support Native key provider" The SR650 has a TPM 2.0 installed. Can this be used directly by VMs running on hosts in vCenter Server essentials? If so, how? Thanks
