Hi,

if so, I revoke my earlier claim from Mon, 2023-04-03 at 11:35 +0200:

IOW if it's as mentioned by Liam (who has got seemingly experienced with
Windows on bare metal) I agree, too.

I could install Windows 11 as VBox guest by disabling TPM during the
Windows 11 install, via some tweaks (no link at hand). However,
seemingly not all the "make Windows more secure" crap is mandatory.

Regards,
Ralf

PS: That EVI boot requires a FAT partition, that doesn't support file
privileges is a bad joke related to security. Fortunately Apple and
Linux bootloaders support workarounds.

PPS: While I don't always agree with Liam (the --assume-yes option comes
to mind ;), I really appreciate his expertise.
