About That Experimental vTPM Feature in 12...

I think I have asked this before with no answer.  I used the experimental vTPM feature liberally in version 12.  I have been told that was a bad idea, and the version 13 would do it much better.  When I look at the guests that had the feature, they say that all the files are encrypted, and the tab is greyed out with the message "Encryption cannot be removed while the virtual TPM device is present. Remove the vTPM to continue."  So it does not appear that Fusion 13 is updating this in any way?  How does one get one's vTPM guests converted to the Fusion 13 method, assuming that is really better?

I'm also searching around this topic.

I tried to remove experimental virtual TPM device in Fusion 13, but the device was re-added automatically and Windows 11 PIN code was simply lossed.

In experimental method I think I can't move the virtual machine to another Mac nor can't remove storage device. New Fast encryption method uses password like older slow method, so it should be much better.

I hope I don't need to reinstall this VM.
