Windows 11 has certain hardware requirements that must be met in order to upgrade from Windows 10. Some of these requirements are as follows:
* A processor with at least 1 GHz clock speed and 2 cores.
* A system firmware that supports UEFI and Secure Boot.
* A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 or higher.
* At least 4 GB of system memory (RAM).
* At least 64 GB of storage space.
In this scenario, the virtual machines that run Windows 10 have the following specifications:
* VM1 is a generation 1 virtual machine with no virtual TPM, 4 virtual processors, and 16 GB of memory.
* VM2 is a generation 2 virtual machine with a virtual TPM, 2 virtual processors, and 4 GB of memory.
* VM3 is a generation 2 virtual machine with a virtual TPM, 1 virtual processor, and 8 GB of memory.
VM1 cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 because it does not have a virtual TPM and it is not a generation 2 virtual machine. Generation 1 virtual machines do not support UEFI and Secure Boot, which are required for Windows 11. VM2 and VM3 can be upgraded to Windows 11 because they have a virtual TPM and they are generation 2 virtual machines. They also meet the minimum requirements for processor speed, cores, memory, and storage space.
