Hi there
VM's are necessary sometimes

How could I run this on W11 (or even W7 !!!)

Screenshot_20210718_102548.png
This has to run on XP and this XP VM uses such a tiny amount of resources on the host - negligeable !!!

I had a brand new Samsung 870EVO 1TB and so I installed windows 11 on it and upgraded to each new build, currently running 22000.71
A few little quirks but it is quite okay to use.
I don't have TPM or Secure Boot and my CPU is too OLD accordning to MS but I got it installed :)

Started dual booting with Win10 insider preview, been doing it ever since. I have Windows 10 on two M.2 SSD's and Windows 11 on my main Sabrent 2tb MVME since the leaked version. I am over 80 and don't want to have to reinstall all my Stuff! I do keep all three current with constant (daily) update check.

Cheers,

    YA! This the old backup. In case things go south. It'll give me access to everything I need.

I think that with the ridiculous hardware requirements that MS has put upon us that most of us are VM. So I thought it would be interesting to know who is Hardware and who is VM? Just say "VM" Or "Hardware" Simple! Although VM is much easier then hardware. Let's see where this post goes, if anywhere. I'll start.

Hyper-V VM's One Pro and one Home that meet all the criteria, and one Pro that was created several years ago as an MBR system. My main work system is also a Hyper-V VM running W10. I usually have two of the W11 VM's and my "work" W10 VM system all running at once.

HARDWARE with unsupported CPU’s. I can clean install Windows 11 without any error messages, it installs better than any Windows 10 version. Once It’s up and running, no major issues. The only issue I can’t solve is the “PCR7 not binding” error caused by “TCG log entry for the OS loader authority is invalid.” That error shows up in Windows 10 too. It seems to a quite common error with OEM’s these days.

You show a lot of faith in a OS the is just in the testing stage. You may want to rethink that for your work system.

    YA! This the old backup. In case things go south. It'll give me access to everything I need.
I would like to say Thank You to everyone for posting. I did not expect this response. WOW! I'll be in VM till the official release. Whatever you do in hardware you can do in VM. Only its non destructive and easily corrected. VM, IMO is the way to go for testing.
