Install Windows 11 on VMWARE workstation pro | A to Z full tutorial of installing win 11 on VMware workstation without having the minimum requirements
This tutorial will guide you to install the windows 11 pro on VMware workstation when VMWARE says “This PC doesn’t meet the system requirements to install this version of windows”. After following these steps, you all can download and install windows 11 on VMware without any of errors.
Download following files to install windows 11 on VMware
Then click on the “create a new virtual machine” option
Choose the “custom” option and click next
Click on next again
Select the windows 11 image file to the box and, click on next
Skip product key entering window if that appears
Click on next option
You can change the virtual OS processors from this window. This step is an important step when we try to install windows 11 on VMware. Because it will help us to bypass incompatible hardware errors of windows 11. It’s compulsory to select at least 2 processors for install windows 11 on inside of VMware.
Click on next
You can change the RAM size of virtual OS from next window. Windows 11 normally need at least 4GB RAM to complete the installation process. But following this tutorial will help you to bypass this error and install windows 11 on VMware even you have selected 1GB ram. Normally I’m recommending you select 40% of the original RAM as the Virtual OS ram size. (Which means if you have 16 GB ram, you can select 6GB ram.)
Click the next until to “Specify Disk Capacity” window
Then here you need to select at least 60GB free storage for install windows 11 as a virtual OS in VMware. This depends on your needs. You can increase or decrease as your wish.
Enabling “allocate all disk space now” and “split virtual disk into multiple files” options will provide a better performance for the virtual OS. Other than this “store virtual hard drive as a single file” option will help you to share our virtual machine to other computers as a one single file that pre-installed everything.
Click on next
You can change the place where that locates the virtual OS (60GB disk image file or files) from this window. If you didn’t select anything here, it will automatically save this into local disk C and this lead your PC hard drive full errors. So, I’m recommending you to select another location.
Click on next and finish the process.
The next step will take some time to complete. Because it will write the full size of the virtual hard disk on your hard drive. This may take 10 to 2 minutes as the speed of your HDD or the SSD.
Now launch it. If it isn’t booted, follow these steps.

Search for turn on or off windows features option
