When VirtualBox starts up, you'll probably guess that you need to click on the New button that creates a new virtual machine. With some diligent web-searching, you can find much of what I tell you here, but since I had to do it to test this software, I figured I'd save you the time. (VMware Fusion isn't as effortless as Parallels Desktop, and requires some settings changes before Windows 11 will run, but it's far easier to work with than VirtualBox.)
