Windows 11 has a nasty little requirement for a TPM chip.

A lot of old hardware does not have these, making it difficult to install Windows 11.

There are a few ways to work around the issue, I found Toms Hardware has a nice posting with the details here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement

Updating the SSL keys, every year 🙁 on stand alone ESXi servers is a PITA.

To make things worse, there are no EASY instructions out there how to do it. VMware wants you to create PEM files or something… just a pain in the butt.

I found a posting on Filecloud, they have easy to follow instructions on enabling SSH and installing new keys. Works, easy & quick.
