The option works with VMWare Workstation Player 16.2 and above, which you can download from the official website.

I'd also advise taking a backup of your data before you delete the current VM, to make space for a new one.Ī tweet posted by Michael Roy, a VMWare Product Manager, confirmed that users of the free VMWare Workstation can enable TPM, with a simple tweak. Note: Please do not try this with an existing virtual machine, as it may corrupt it. The free version of the software does not have that. I had faced a similar issue before the stable version of Windows 11 was released, and used the free trial of VMware Workstation Pro to bypass the issue, since it had an option to enable TPM 2.0 support. But I had trouble enrolling into the Preview Program, because the guest operating system failed the requirement check, since my virtual machine does not have TPM.

Last week, I wanted to try the latest build that was released to the Windows Insider Program, to try and see if there were some workarounds for some issues in it.
