Windows 11 Evaluation VM Download
Hello folks!
I just noticed that Microsoft removed the Windows 11 Eval virtual machine download in October 2024 from this page:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/
Does anyone happen to have a link where an archive of that might be kept? I'm in need of it to test something and of course with my luck it "just" became unavailable!
Keeping my fingers crossed that one of you good folks on this great sub can help. Thanks!

EDIT: I found the direct link to the zip file. Thank you all for your feedback!

you are the fucking goat, thank you!
Doesn't work.
I get "Error while powering on: VMware Player does not support nested virtualization on this host. Module 'HV' power on failed." (using VMWare Workstation 16 Player)
You're awesome my friend. Thank you.
bro you are a legend for updating the post with the zip.
Glad to help!!!
Just spin up a new win11 vm and make it a template. Evaluation doesn’t make sense when the actual product has been out for years.
MS's evals are more like demo's or shareware. I used the Win11 'eval,' to setup my new side laptop and just logged in with my account that was tied to my license.
I have used server evaluations in the past, I think I still have a server 2025 evaluation somewhere. Already done with my testing so probably time to retire it.
Thank you so much
Glad to help!
Did you happen to come across the vmware link?
Yes, I believe it's there. Look for the VMWare blue button here:
