Settings in a VMWare Guest so you can install Windows 11 Insider Preview
I believe you need to have secure boot and a TPM to get Windows 11 installed
I have a Windows 10 Enterprise operating system Virtual Machine on a VMware® Workstation 16 Pro 16.1.2 build-17966106 on a Ubuntu 20.04 Host
Install the VMWare TPM
I have installed the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and enabled the SecureBoot Option in the the Windows 10 VM (requires VM is encrypted)

Methods to Check for TPM and Secure Boot
Have discovered in the VM when I run an administrative Powershell session and use Get-Tpm
it returns and error
Get-Tpm
Get-Tpm : Object was not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090011)
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-Tpm
+ ~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Tpm], TpmWmiException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Tpm.Commands.TpmWmiException,Microsoft.Tpm.Commands.GetTpmCommand
But you can get your TPM status via either tpm.msc
or a wmic
query

wmic /namespace:\root\CIMV2\Security\MicrosoftTpm path Win32_Tpm get /value
IsActivated_InitialValue=TRUE
IsEnabled_InitialValue=TRUE
IsOwned_InitialValue=TRUE
ManufacturerId=1447909120

ManufacturerVersion=Not Supported
ManufacturerVersionFull20=2.101.0.1
ManufacturerVersionInfo=VMware TPM2
PhysicalPresenceVersionInfo=1.3
SpecVersion=2.0, 0, 1.16
Get-Tpm doesn’t work but tpm.msc or wmic query does

Turn on Windows Diagnostics
My insider build would not activate until I turned on extra diagnostics. Which were greyed out so I had to change local group policy. (my device is domain and AAD joined).

I also turned on the Connect User Experiences and Telemetry service

I had to reboot a number of times too.
