The future of Parallels to support Windows 11 - DirectX 12, WDDM 2.0, and TPM 2.0 missing

This is a question about the uncertain future for Parallels to be compatible with Windows 11 upgrade. The minimum requirement of Windows 11 clearly denotes that supporting DirectX 12, WDDM 2.0, and TPM 2.0 is mandatory.

It is confirmed by the knowledge base of Parallels that TPM 2.0 support will be added to the M1 version Parallels in the future updates. (see the note section on https://kb.parallels.com/en/122702) This solves one concern, but others are remaining. Is DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 support on the plan for Parallels to run Windows 11? The official confirmation would be very helpful to address the uncertainty.

Dxdiag in the Windows 10 running under PD, shows driver model WDDM 1.2 and DirectX 11 support.

Even running Windows 10 is now a problem without these features because access to the Dev Channel is locked for new users.

I think beta channel will be switched to the 21H2 builds very soon, so it will be possible to receive new builds which support x64 emulation through beta channel.
 
An update about the new Windows 11 Insider Preview: it has been successfully installed on the new M1 Mac via Parallels. However, the incompatibility message still reminds that if the compatibility issue is not solved users will need to clean install to Windows 10, losing all the data.

It is a Microsoft's special policy to allow Insiders register before 24 June to receive Windows 11 Insider Preview even if their hardware does not meet the minimum requirement. I'm concerned that this won't last long. An official confirmation from Parallels is still needed.'

So far what is mostly lacking is the support of DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0.

I am not fully caught up on wintel hardware but if Microsoft is forced to make an exception on the CPU generation, wouldn't they also have to make concessions on TPM? I read TPM 2.0 is the floor. Not sure how negotiable that is...meanwhile my x86 Windows 11 VM is not even setup as UEFI and it works fine. So it appears to be an artificial restriction.

There are no requirements if you were into insider dev channel before 6/24.

Several sources also state that if you will make .reg file with the following content:

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

and import it into the registry, you can install Windows 11 even you were not into insider program
 
do we know what parallels presents to the VM when creating the initial boot device on M1? Is it UEFI, EFI or BIOS? Even if Parallels does enable TPM in the not too distant future, you can enable it only if UEFI is in place.

this worked on my Intel box, but i can't get this to work on my M1

Dies ist eine Frage über die ungewisse Zukunft von Parallels, um mit dem Windows 11-Upgrade kompatibel zu sein. Die Mindestanforderung von Windows 11 besagt eindeutig, dass die Unterstützung von DirectX 12, WDDM 2.0 und TPM 2.0 zwingend erforderlich ist.

Die Wissensdatenbank von Parallels bestätigt, dass die TPM 2.0-Unterstützung in den zukünftigen Updates zur M1-Version von Parallels hinzugefügt wird. (siehe Anmerkungsabschnitt auf https://kb.parallels.com/de/122702 ) Dies löst ein Problem, aber andere bleiben bestehen. Ist DirectX 12- und WDDM 2.0-Unterstützung für Parallels geplant, um Windows 11 auszuführen? Die offizielle Bestätigung wäre sehr hilfreich, um die Unsicherheit auszuräumen.

Hallo stimme dem uneingeschränkt zu, ich bin Windows Insider und möchte auch auf dem MAC M1 asap WIN 11 nutzen. Aktuell wird der Prozess sofort abgebrochen TPM 2.0 ist die Mauer
