"This PC can't run Windows 11" (VirtualBox, Windows 11 iso)

[jonashackt]

Cloned the repo and executed

packer build --only=virtualbox-iso windows_11.json

the booting VirtualBox machine in the packer build process is of type Windows 10 (64-bit) and gives the error This PC can't run Windows 11.

Thanks! I haven't looked into local packer builds for a long time now. 😬 Both my private and work notebooks are Mac M1 so I gave up building local Windows VM's. 😅

Maybe https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant or https://github.com/gusztavvargadr/packer can help you. Both repos also moved away from my hacky boot command to put the Windows 11 checks into the Autounattend.xml. 😀
