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.

    Can't get it to work on VMware. I did every step and it still does not want to work. When I use managedvm.autoAddVTPM = "software" It says that the .vmx file is corrupt.

    I could be wrong but IIRC, that command doesn't work on VMPlayer

    btw, the correct command line is managedvm.autoAddVTPM="software" no espaces,

    maybe that is why it doesn't work.
