I checked the “ Remember Password” option and found that I never had to enter the password on restarts, re-launch of VMware Fusion, etc. You’ll then be prompted to set a system password: For our purposes, check the “ Enable Encryption” box. It’s actually easy to turn off encryption once you enable it, though I’m not sure if it’ll then disable the TPM 2.0 module once installed. We’ll need that in a minute or two.įor now, click on “ Encryption” to proceed… Then you can get to the Settings in VMware Fusion for this particular virtual machine, which will look like this:Īs highlighted, you’ll want to click on “ Encryption” along the bottom row, but before we do that, I want to bring your attention to one more thing: The “Add Device…” button on the top right.
That’s done by going into your Windows machine and shutting it down (Start Menu > Power > Shut Down).
You can test it for yourself, but the Trusted Platform Module can’t be installed on your virtual machine until you encrypt your VM. The wrinkle here is that you can’t just install the TPM 2.0 module on your virtual machine: You have to encrypt your virtual machine first… ENCRYPT VIRTUAL MACHINE IN VMWARE FUSIONįortunately, both the encryption and TPM install steps are easy if you know what order they need to happen.

It’s a quick download and install, as it happens, and you can indeed make your Windows 10 virtual machine Windows 11 ready, as I’ll demonstrate. Not just that, but you need version 2.0 of the physical hardware chip on your computer, so it’s not an app you can install on your PC. Indeed, most of the Windows tutorials on this site in my PC Help area were produced with the help of my trusty VMware Fusion virtual Win10 system.Īs many have written about, the early versions of Microsoft Windows 11 require something called a Trusted Platform Module, or TPM. Whether you choose a dual boot scenario or just run Windows within a virtual machine through either Parallels or VMware Fusion, it’s surprisingly fast and compatible. You will need to login at to download.Developers have long since realized that one of the great features of a modern Mac system is that it can also run Windows really well.

VMware Fusion for Mac is a superb tool that you can use to run a virtual operating system on your Mac.

Only a few years ago, when the Mac used to use a PowerPC chip, using Windows on a Mac was unbearable. If you’re a PC user but fancy the idea of using a Mac, you can get the best of both worlds through virtualisation.
