I run Virtualbox so here is the route I pursued: https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/post/install-microsoft-windows-11-on-virtualbox

It’s supposed to be a no-no to use external drives to host VM’s because of the slow throughput rate but the testing I’m doing is more focused on compatibility and interoperability, not so much performance so my 3 terabyte USB external drive works fine for all of my VM’s.

Good luck!

Oh, and here’s where to get an ISO of Win-11: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?ranMID=24542&ranEAID=kXQk6*ivFEQ&ranSiteID=kXQk6.ivFEQ-NH3PI00AodaCCh7KlBHGUg&epi=kXQk6.ivFEQ-NH3PI00AodaCCh7KlBHGUg&irgwc=1&irclickid=_z0keysh3wskf6nkp133xftfux32xrcvu0svqhe0l00
