Win11
As at July 2022 Win11 requires a great deal of hacking to made work.
Windows 11 significantly raised its hardware requirements compared to Windows 10.
Among the changes, it requires more RAM and storage space. It also requires a
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 and a UEFI boot environment.
GNOME Boxes doesn’t yet support TPM and UEFI environments. However, the underlying
virtualization technology supports it.
