Index VM Hyper V

Windows 11 in Hyper-V on PC or Server without TPM and UEFI
And multiple remote desktop sessions with 1 VM.
All data is stored accessible to the user and system administrator on the server itself and not in the cloud.
With the right settings of the VPN router, work can also be done at home.

Cheap (free) alternative to Azure and One drive for small business.
No cloud but everything on your own server at no extra cost.

Also possible with Virtual Box in Linux

Download a Windows 11 ISO with the mediacreationtool
Create a bootable USB stick with Rufus and bypass the requirements for TPM and UEFI

It is recommended to install a virtual Windows 10 with Hyper-V first.
Then you will also get more insight and learn how all that works.
Read Windows 10 in Hyper-V

We have the USB stick that bypasses TPM and secure bios but you cannot install a VM with a USB stick because it is not recognized.
You can only do that with an ISO or a DVD.
We then have to make a new iso from that USB stick.
