One way to do this is with P2V Converter, found here: https://www.vmware.com/products/converter.html
Another way would be to do the physical to virtual conversion yourself with other tools. You'll need Acronis (or other system imaging tool) on a USB drive, and another USB storage drive. Boot to Acronis on that laptop and capture that Win11 image to the USB storage, and then boot to Win10 and either use Windows Hyper-V (depending on which version of Windows 10) or VMware Workstation to convert that Acronis image to a VM. You'll need to create a generic Win11 VM first, attach the Acronis ISO to the virtual CD-drive of the VM, power the VM on, and boot to Acronis on the VM using the ISO file, and then use Acronis on the VM to write the physical image you captured before to the virtual machine.
This isn't an exhaustive, step-by-step procedure, but hopefully it'll put you along the path of figuring it out.
