![]() Note that Fusion on Apple Silicon must run the Arm variant of Windows 11, and it does not support the x86/Intel version of Windows. With certified and signed drivers Windows 11 looks fantastic, and adjust the resolution to 4K and beyond! In this release VMware Tools provides virtual graphics and networking, and more is still to come. On Apple Silicon, we’ve introduced our first round of features for Windows 11 on Arm. On Intel Macs you’ll notice full support for Windows 11 with VMware Tools allowing for host-guest interactions like Drag & Drop, or Copy & Paste, as well as shared folders and USB and Camera device passthrough. ![]() We’ve delivered a new Virtual Trusted Platform Module (2.0) device that is recognized as a valid TPM, and new encryption method to support that TPM. In order to achieve support for Windows 11 System Requirements while still providing performant virtual machines, we had to innovate. On both Intel and Apple Silicon, Fusion 13 brings support for Windows 11 virtual machines. Let’s take a quick look at what’s new in Fusion 13 Windows 11 on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs After years of ongoing development and several Tech Previews, we’re ready to bring Windows 11 and more to both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs with the latest major version of VMware Fusion. To use this experimental device, just add the following to the Windows 11. VMware is also shipping a currently-experimental vTPM device that boasts a reduced performance impact by employing a new encryption model, as well as several new options for managing Fusion and Workstation installations at scale. NOTE: There is another, experimental way to achieve the same goal and potentially with better performance. Once installation is complete, reboot your VM for the changes to take effect.Īfter the reboot, the installation of Ubuntu (the default distribution used by WSL) continuesĮt voilà! MacOS running VMware Fusion running Windows 11 running Hyper-v running Ubuntu Linux In Windows Terminal (you are in the Windows Powershell shell by default) type To install WSL, right click the start button and select ‘Windows Terminal (Admin)’ After the wizard finishes you need to restart the VM.Īfter the reboot you can enjoy a more appropriate resolution. ![]() Click on ‘Virtual Machine’ –> ‘Install VMware Tools’ĭoubleclick ‘setup64’ to install VMware Tools and run through the installation wizard. Once you are done with setup you can install VMware Tools to add to relevant drivers to Windows 11. If you are happy with your settings go ahead and boot the VM and follow the Windows installation steps. Now you can change the amount of virtual CPU and Memory that is allocated to the VM, you can also opt to enable hypervisor applications in the VM if you want to make use of WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which uses Hyper-V to run a Linux distribution on Windows 11. You do this by selecting ‘Advanced’Ĭlick the ‘Disable Side Channel Mitigations’ checkbox Optionally you can disable side channel mitigations to improve the performance (but obviously lower its security posture) of the VM. Select ‘Trusted Platform Module’ and click ‘Add…’Īcknowledge the information pane and click on ‘Show All’ You can do this by going back to all settings and clicking ‘ Add Device…’ on the top right Next we need to add a Trusted Platform Module as that is a prerequisite for Windows 11. Next click on ‘Encryption’ and enter a password of your choice Instead of selecting Finish, go ahead and click Customize Settings if you want to change the name of the VM or the location of the files, if not, click Finish. Select UEFI and optionally UEFI Secure Boot ![]() Next we run Fusion and create a new VM using the “install from disc or image” option. ![]() Follow the steps below to avoid the dreaded “this machine is not compatible with Windows 11” message because a (v)TPM is missing by default.įirst step is to acquire an ISO image which you can find here: I needed a Windows 11 VM to do some testing and since I currently don’t have any Windows hardware anymore I decided to use VMware Fusion on my (intel) mac instead. ![]()
