Well... the VM requires those most likely since the Win11 itself has those requirements... Can't say those _requirements_ are reasonable, though. Those should be, as at least most of them have been, optional, up to the user to decide.
Speaking of HDDs && data recovery, though, I've had the exact same experience. If a disaster strikes data recovery is fairly easy. W/ an encrypted drive, you're most likely doomed... unless you happen to have the encryption key, but chances are most users can't be bothered to back that up, so...

@AlgoRythm Well... _By default_ it does require those. But yes - there are workarounds. I went the modded ISO via Rufus route.
I know I'm probably the 1083742698574'th person to complain about this but what the hell? I'm building a Win 11 vm (to run a back-end service) and it _requires_ tpm, secureboot and drive encryption. Why?
Honestly, I don't like anything that going to make it harder for me to recover from a data emergency. Say what you have to about data security and whatnot, but I can't tell you how many grateful people have thanked me for taking the data off a drive from their dead pc. I saved their data from death - would not have been possible with drive encryption.
If I want my data safe, I'll just keep my computer with me.
