InPlace Upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 for VM v1 Types

Hello Community,

I´m currently searching for a way to InPlace Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11.

The Desktop-Image for the AVD Host is a VM with VM-Version 1. 

 

I already know that the basic need for a windows 11 installation is the activiation of TPM and secure boot. This can only be done with a VM in VM-Version 2.

 

I already opened a microsoft ticket, but microsoft is telling me there is no way and we need to build new images with a fresh installation of windows 11.

 

Is there already some knowledge in this community?

Thank you in advance?

    If the need is urgent, create a snapshot of your VHD, and create an image. Create a new v2 VM using the new image.

      Hey Brian

      is it possible to activate TPM and secure boot after upgrading to a v2 VM with the existing snapshot/disk?

        ChrisW Yes after you have the image setup. You can deploy the v2 VM and enable trusted launch. Here is the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/trusted-launch-portal?tabs=portal%2Cportal2%2Cportal3#deploy-a-trusted-launch-vm
