    Hi, I want to add a TPM chip to my Windows VM, but the options are unavailable. Here are some details of my systems:

    Parallel Desktop Version 17.0.1 (51482)
    Device: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    VM: Windows 10
    BIOS: UEFI

    To upgrade to Windows 11, I understand that the Windows 10 bios mode should be "EFI" or "UEFI" with the latest parallel desktop version. I'm not sure what am I missing here?

    I have the same issue. My system details:

    Parallel Desktop Version 17.0.1 (51482)
    Device: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
    VM: Windows 10 Pro
    BIOS: UEFI

    Could this be an issue with using Windows via the Boot Camp partition?

    Is this VM is bootcamp?
    Check OS type set in VM configuration editor.

    Yeah my Windows 10 install is on the boot camp partition.
    I have checked the OS type set in configuration and it is set to "auto-detect". I correctly detects Windows 10.

    It is not allowed to add virtual TPM into bootcamp based VMs.
    I guess because native bootcamp doesn't have TPM.
