Hi, I got Windows 11 Arm running on my m4 Mac Mini. After jumping through some hoops getting the free home use version of VMWare Fusion downloaded, I was able to install Windows 11 Arm. I had to use VOCR to read the screen after starting the VM. It was on a boot screen. pressing enter started the setup process. I cant be sure, But I think I used my USB sound card to use Narrator while installing. You can download Windows 11 from the VMWare Fusion app when creating the new VM.
