Thank you Mannharry for your response, but the article you indicated is for the installation of Windows 11 on a normal PC. In my case I want to install a virtual machine on a stand-alone ESXi host with free license.
The problem is that in that case a virtual TPM device is required which, in a commercial environment, is provided by the key provider in the vCenter. But in case of a free ESXi licence there is no vCenter.
Does anyone know a solution ? Otherwise it would mean that Windows 11 can no longer be installed on a VMware ESXI host ( free license ) ?
