Fortunately with VirtualBox 7.0 and later, Oracle has included in its hypervisor the option to enable TPM and Secure Boot support for any operating system that needs them to run, like the Windows 11.
The system requirements for installing Windows 11 are that your system must have a 64-bit compatible processor, at least 4 GB of RAM, and support TPM and Secure Boot.
VirtualBox now offers the ability to emulate the TPM and Secure Boot features in order to allow the virtual machine to use the TPM & Secure Boot functionalities as if it were a physical machine.
This guide contains instructions on how to enable TPM and Secure Boot on an Oracle VirtualBox VM machine to install Windows 11, even if the host machine does not support TPM or Secure Boot.
