Win11 & Unraid


Recommended Posts

Hi Unraid Team,

 

I have been fascinated by your unique os for a long time now hoping to setup an unraid system for my personal needs and I am coming around to doing it at last but all of sudden there are new questions coming around with the soon to be released new windows 11. I thought I could ask here as it might also help other users.

 

My question is around how unraid will be handling the new requirements around TPM/Secure boot. I understand there are already a number of workaround to install win11 on pretty much anything and obviously unraid vms are definitely able to run win11 but I am taking the approach that we do not know yet how microsoft will enforce those requirements when real release happens. In short, in my research, I read about VMware for example can create a virtual TPM module and therefore create VMs that simply would be compliant rather than working around the windows installation process and not knowing the support I would get from Microsoft going down that route.

 

Could you please let me know if virtualizing a TPM module is an option for the VMs created in Unraid, if not is it on the roadmap at all?

 

Thank you very much for your assistance.

 

Remy.

 

Edit: Apologies for posting this, I did find my answer in the forum: 

 

It seems that QEMU is already supporting TPM2 and moreover, Microsoft officially confirm that TPM requirements will be ignored for virtualized environments. Sorry again for not checking the forum properly.
