You don't provide your config/settings VM info.
But in general you need to check the minimum requirements for Windows 11, such as TPM, RAM & CPU.
Also bear in mind the need for a Secure Boot BIOS/UEFI setting.

I run the setup but I get the same error ,it says the minimum requirements cannot run win11 Pro.
I checked from bios secure boot is enabled.
What can it be? Thanks a lot!

What can it be?

You need TPM for Windows 11. You may also want to choose/try q35 machine. Also Processor type try x86-64-v2-AES etc.

Hi,
I have already configured with TPM, tried to raise the ram to 8 Gb and the processor I set it as x86-64-v2-AES
THIS is the configuration , but it gives me the same warning that the minimum requirements are not met..but how strange..I installed two sever windows 2022 without any problems....

Have you tried host?
One other thing, I don't know your physical HW, but why have you got NUMA enabled?

Hello,

Please go to the VM "Options" panel and check if "OS Type" is set to the correct windows version.

with cpu HOST, and disable NUMA ( which I had enabled because I use it for hot swapping RAM and CPU ) works!wonderful!
thanks for your support!

I ran into the same issue with my server setup while trying to install Windows 11. It turned out my hardware didn’t meet some of the new requirements, like Secure Boot or TPM 2.0.

What helped me was checking out tips from operating systems forums. They often have useful advice for these compatibility issues. I also found some helpful insights on operatingsystems.info that guided me through adjusting BIOS settings and updating firmware. Sometimes, these small tweaks can make a big difference.
