Windows 11 upgrade requires TPM 2.0 enabled in VMware VM. For some of us who have been upgrading since Windows XP/Vista/7 likely have MBR/BIOS. This is a problem to enable TPM 2.0 which requires UEFI and disk encryption.
Microsoft has a very simple MBR/BIOS to GPT/UEFI conversion command.
Login into Windows, open a command prompt and type the following command.
MBR2GPT /convert /disk:0 /allowfullos
After change – shutdown the VM and change the Firmware type to UEFI before booting back up or it won’t boot.
After reboot, you need to enable Encryption under VMware Fusion Virtual Machine setting.
Once VM is encrypted, you can use "Add Device" to enable Trusted Platform Module.
