Yes, I know that.

But I also know Microsoft, too. Just because there's an undocumented hack to  
bypass Windows 11 requirements doesn't mean that it will work forever, or if  
a future Windows update doesn't start doing something revolting on seats  
that don't meet their stated (as BS as they are) requirements.

As it is, that particular Win10 VM, with a valid, activated license, would  
not update to Win11 until I reconfigured the VM, added TPM emulation and  
converted MBR to GPT and enable secure boot. Then it quickly offered an  
update to Win11, and is now running Win11. Everything is done by the book,  
and that's how I prefer. That VM is running some important stuff that I  
don't wish to play any games with.

Now I want to move that VM to Ubuntu, but looks like Ubuntu 22 might have an  
older version of the virtual firmware, unless I'm missing something (which  
was my question). I'll see what Ubuntu 24 brings to the plate…
