Hmm, the only barrier to upgrading was that the i5 processor wasn’t supported, no complaints about TPM/motherboard compatibility and a fresh install worked fine on the exact same hardware. Oh well, it’s done anyway.
The hypervisor doesn’t necessarily present the guest the exact CPU you’re running. Maybe it was presenting an older model, or something stripped down that didn’t have the features win 11 was looking for. It’s moot.now that you found a solution but I believe this is what happened and moving the disks to a new VM probably would have worked.
