How to Install Windows 11 in a Virtual Machine (FREE & Easy VirtualBox Setup)
In this video I'll show you how to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine with VirtualBox — free, from ISO download to a working desktop. I'll cover the easy unattended install, the manual method for full control, and how to get past the TPM "this PC can't run Windows 11" wall. And the step most people skip: take a snapshot so you can break the VM and roll it back like nothing happened.
