I have a question about TPM hardware.
Fedora 34 running as an image in a Vmware Player VM on a Windows 10 host reports that I don't have a TPM chip, and with Windows 10 running in a Virtualbox (both these VM' are the free versions of the VM's) VM on the same Windows 10 host when I try to update the image to Windows 11 it says the environment does not meet the install requirements. Vmware Player doesn't support UEFI but Virtualbox does and is active in the VM images. If I try upgrade the native Windows 10 host Windows 11 says it can install on my hardware. The Bios indicates that I have activated fTPM in my AMD Rizen cpu which Windows 11 seems to be finding, are the VM's suppressing the TPM functionality because I need to buy the commercial versions that allow a TPM to be added to the VM's as a device, or is Windows 11 and Fedora 34 not looking for the hardware the right way when running in a VM?

The OS in the VM can't see any of the hardware on the host system unless the VM specifically passes it through. Normally, all "hardware" in the VM is virtual. qemu has an option to add a TPM by either creating a virtual one or passing the hardware one through. I have no idea about vmware or virtualbox.
