VMware Workstation 17.0 Pro Released: Virtual TPM 2.0 Support

Recently, the well-known virtual machine VMware released version 17.0 Pro, which brings support for Virtual Trusted Platform (TPM) 2.0.

The introduction of TPM 2.0 support means that this virtual machine has been able to achieve perfect compatibility with the Win11 operating system, which is undoubtedly a good news for many users who need a Win11 test environment.

Besides, the new version can also automatically start the local virtual machine when the host boots, users can also choose between full or fast encryption, support for OpenGL 4.3 (Windows 7, Linux with Mesa 22.0.0 or higher versions of Linux kernel 5.16.0), and WDDM 1.2.

However, users are also officially informed that there are still certain problems in this version.

At this stage, users may be shown an incorrect version number when selecting the ISO image of FreeBSD, although this will not affect the actual installation.
