Introductory

A VirtualBox we can install a variety of operating systems on virtual machines, including all versions of Windows. However, there are still problems with Windows 11. The current version (6.1) of Virtualbox theoretically supports Windows 11, but there are problems during installation. In this troubleshooter, we will solve this issue so that you can install the current latest edition of Windows, 11, without any problems.

Although this description is not specific to Linux, the dual boot tutorials also include Windows 11 installations, so it complements them.

The symptom

After we set up the virtual machine for Windows 11, and we started the installer and then reached to select the type of operating system:

In the next step, you will receive an error message:

The error message reads:

The solution

During the installation, Windows checks for some things that your computer or VirtualBox does not. These are usually the secure boot, to TPM, memory or processor check, etc. Therefore, these checks should be omitted in this case, which can be done as follows:

Exit the installer

First, exit the installation process with the close button in the upper right corner of the window:

You are asked to confirm, select Yes. Then we return to the beginning of the installer:

Start a command prompt

In the current window, press Shift + F10 keys, the command prompt window will open:

Running the regedit program

Start the regedit program here:

Find the target setting group

In regedit, navigate to the following settings:

Számítógép\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup

Create a new key

Then the -Setup right-click on the label to create a new key:

Select New menu Key submenu:

Then a new field will appear:

Type that here LabConfig. Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters! Then press enter.

Then you need to create the settings.

Create settings

Here we will create four settings, each a 32-bit (double word) value. Let's go in order:

New setting: BypassTPMCheck

On the right side of the panel, right-click an empty area to create a new 32-bit (double-word) value:

This will create your record, where you will need to fill in the name of the setting first:

Fill in the Bypass TPM Check value. Here, too, pay attention to the case. After saving with the enter key, double-click on it and the settings panel will appear:

Set "1" here and make sure the Hexadecimal option is selected.

When you are done, save it with the OK button, then the next setting may come ...

New setting: BypassCPUCheck

In the empty area, right-click again to create a new 32-bit (double word) value:

The record is created again, fill in the name of the setting:

Fill in the BypassCPUCheck value. Here, too, pay attention to the case. After saving with enter, double-click it for settings:

Also set this to "1" and the Hexadecimal setting. When you're done, save it with OK, then the next ...

New setting: BypassRAMCheck

In the empty area, right-click again to create a new 32-bit (double word) value:

The record is created here as well, fill in the name of the setting:

Fill in the Bypass RAM Check name. Here, too, pay attention to the case. After saving with enter, double-click it to edit the settings as well:

Also set this to "1" and the Hexadecimal setting. Save it and then the next ...

New setting: BypassSecureBootCheck

In the empty area, right-click again to create a new 32-bit (double word) value:

The record is created, fill in the name of the setting:

Fill in the Bypass Secure Boot Check name. Here, too, pay attention to the case. After saving with enter, double-click it to edit the settings as well:

Also set this to "1" and the Hexadecimal setting and save.

This completes the four settings, so this section should look like if you've set everything up correctly:

Return to the installer

If we're done so far, close regedit,

and also the command prompt window.

Continue with installation

Then continue the installation by clicking the middle Install button.

This will bring up the Windows Activation window again:

If you have a product key, you can enter it here, or if you don't have one, you can skip this step by clicking the link below.

Then select the type of system you want to install:

This was followed by an error message, but if we choose the right system for us now and move on, we'll accept the license terms:

Then select the installation method:

And from here on, the installer goes on, the next step is partitioning, and everything works fine.

Conclusion

With these few settings, you can now install Windows 11.

I first made this little description for Virtualbox, but it can work for many physical motherboards that no longer support Windows 11 due to their age. Of course, in the case of physical computers, we only test it experimentally, because it can result in uncertain operation. For example, in a later update, re-checking these skipped sections may cause your system to shut down.
