Cannot upgrade to Windows 11 Pro version 24H2

I have a Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 running in a KVM antlet installed on 4/8/23.  Recently I've not been getting updates and the Windows Updater informs me that 22H2 as reached the end of service.  When I try to download the 24H2 update, I can't for the reasons shown in the attached file: Secure Boot not supported, TPM 2.0 not detected and the current processor (Westmere E56xx/L56xx/X56xx (Nehalem-C) 2.20 GHz) is not supported. :-(

I saw the thread about updating to 22H2, and you talked about releasing a new KVM.  I'm at 22H2, and want to move up to 24H2.  What are my options.  This is a production development system and I really want to stay current with it.

Thanks.

Windows 11 24H2 checks for TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and a newer CPU, which the KVM antlet's virtual hardware doesn't present, so Windows Update won't offer the upgrade. Take a snapshot of the antlet first. Then the common route is an in-place upgrade from 24H2 install media created with a tool like Rufus, which can skip the TPM, Secure Boot and CPU checks. Run setup.exe from that media inside the antlet and choose to keep your files and apps.
