Clean install of Windows 11 Build 22533.1001 on VMware Player 16.2.2

I downloaded and installed VMware Player 16.2.1 and Installed from the MS Insider ISO 22533.1001 on a Virtual machine.

I used the link below to add TPM, then the installation worked all the way through.

How to Enable TPM Support on VMWare Player - Website for Students

Added this line as suggested in the .vmx file:

managedvm.autoAddVTPM = "software"

Cannot go any further, I don't have a key to activate Windows 11 on VM.

Also, way too slow for my taste on this old laptop.

    If I remember correctly on with some older Windows and VMWare versions this line in BCD has prevent installing VMWare.

    I gave another try both with and without "Windows Hypervisor Platform" and seems to be working either way, not sure which one was faster anymore, a previous attempt without WHP seemed to get stuck, but when I tried again it worked fine.

    This other warning, I don't think I can do anything with the free Player, the options are only on the Pro version.

    I could not find a way to get to this menu directly, had to wait for the Timeout on the default boot before getting this option. The change order doesn't seem to work, perhaps it is only for the Pro version?

    Do you have been Hyper-V installed in that device? Check this VMWare KB.

    Is there line hypervisorlaunchtype in in BCD? This interferer with VMWare player

    "VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible" error in VMware Workstation on Windows 10 host (2146361)

    Hi Pauli,

    Yes, I see that line

    I don't get any error.

    I just cannot enable Core Isolation Memory integrity on the Virtual Machine.

    With this machine my Host system is Windows 11 22000.438

    B.T.W.

    Without Windows Hypervisor Platform installed, it couldn't even finish the installation of 22533 on the Virtual Machine. But when I tried again it worked fine. Not sure what was different. 😎
