How to install Windows 11 in Virtualbox?

I have tried enabling uefi and secure boot but it stops at the setup screen and says "This PC cannot run Windows 11".

I even tried using DISM but I found out that the install file is install.esd.

Can anyone help me to install Windows 11 in Virtualbox?

Specs of my Host PC:

HP DA2009TU Essential Laptop

Core i3 1035g1

8gb ram

1TB SSD Storage

(I know what you guys are thinking, it is not a good machine for virtual machines.)

Another try from me. If this doesn't work, I'll give up.

I haven't used VirtualBox recently, but I know that you have choices with a VM's hardware configuration. Can you change your VM's hardware so that it meets Windows 11 requirements?

I was actually surprised that I was able to install Windows 11 into Hyper-V on my 13-year old computer, which thinks TPM stands for tire pressure monitor. Clearly, the critical hardware was virtualized. Perhaps Hyper-V is more generous with hardware virtualization than VirtualBox?

The more you understand, the more you succeed.
