I expect that this process will get smoother and easier as Windows 11 gets closer and closer to release, but at this point a lot of VMWare’s efforts are focused on migrating Fusion to the M1-based Mac systems too.
#VMWARE FUSION 8 TOOLS INSTALL#
Specify language and similar formats in this first window and you’ll progress through the install process, finally having Microsoft Windows 11 running in all its glory within VMWare Fusion on your Mac system!

First off, we’re back to 1999 with the first screen you’ll see in Windows 11:īefore you get to this point, it might seem that the boot process itself times out and fails, but just have patience, it will eventually boot into the ISO install program and get you to the actual setup and installation. The process from this point is pretty straightforward once you click on the blue Finish button. You can now close the Customize Settings window and proceed! FINAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING WINDOWS 11 There it is, that Trusted Platform Module. Now you should see a new icon show up in Removable Devices: Once that’s done, click on “Add Device…” and choose the Trusted Platform Module TPM.
For now, go into Encryption and enable the Encryption feature. I’ve highlighted the two areas you want to change: Encryption, then Add Device… You can, of course, tweak other settings too if you want to allocate it more disk space, more CPUs, etc. ADD A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE TO YOUR WINDOWS 11 VMĬustomize Settings lets you access all the control panels you can normally access in Fusion, but before the install begins: To do that, click on the “ Customize Settings” button. Now you need to install that Trusted Platform Module so that Win11 will see your Mac as acceptable hardware. On the other hand, the UEFI Secure Boot might be better since Windows 11 does require encryption at some level (part of what that Trusted Platform Module offers).ĭone! Well, no. Still, a “legacy” BIOS on the latest and greatest from Microsoft? Seems unlikely. I have to be honest that I guessed UEFI without secure boot was the best choice here, not really knowing the differences. You might be able to find an “Other” configuration that would work too, but Windows 11 isn’t hugely different from Win 10…
#VMWARE FUSION 8 TOOLS WINDOWS 10#
Since we’re not going back in time and running Vista or Win 2000 (thank goodness!) instead choose the most advanced configuration offered, Windows 10 圆4. WHICH OS IN VMWARE FUSION FOR WINDOWS 11?Īs is immediately obvious, Fusion offers a lot of OS options, but no Windows 11: Notice it’s picked up “Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_圆4_en-us_2245…” as the image name. Drag the ISO file onto the light blue target rectangle.Īfter a few moments it’ll recognize the image and offer up this new window: Since we have the ISO disc image from Microsoft, that’s the easiest option. Choose File > New and you’ll see this:Īs you can see, lots of choices. Once the download’s done, launch VMWare Fusion… CREATING A WINDOWS 11 VIRTUAL MACHINEįusion makes creating a virtual machine pretty easy, actually. Do that, then go get a cup of tea it’s going to take a while to get a 5GB download. One of the options there is to download a beta of the new operating system. A few clicks and you gain access to the Windows Insider area on the Microsoft site. Do that by going into Settings on your Windows 10 system and searching for ‘insider’. It’s big, over 5GB, and you’ll need to join the Windows Insider Program to gain access. The first step is to get a copy of the latest Windows 11 release as an ISO file. I imagine it won’t be long before there’s a default “Windows 11” option within the Fusion setup process, but until then, I’m running version 12.1.2 and here’s how it worked… DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS 11 ISO

In this tutorial, I go through a full Windows 11 install from the Microsoft ISO image download so you can see where it’s easy and where you have to guess and hope you’re choosing the best option.

You can test your existing PC to ensure it’s Win11 compatible – How to Check If Your PC Can Run Windows 11 – and it turns out you can actually create a virtual workspace in VMWare Fusion that includes a TPM, as I detail here: Add TPM 2.0 To Your VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine.īut this begs the question can VMWare Fusion actually run Windows 11 at this point? The answer is, well, mostly.
For a PC to be compatible with Windows 11, it will now need to have what’s known as a Trusted Platform Module for better platform security.
Microsoft is tightening the requirements for people to run Windows 11 on their computers, muchly around the issue of security.
