AMD Ram encryption / SME / SEV Support for Windows + VMWare Workstation Pro (not vShhere) possible?

I am wondering if SME SEV can be / is  utilized in Windows 10 + VMWare Workstation 16 Pro.
HWiInfo tells me, that SME,SEV are present.
In the internet I can only find articles how RAM Encryption works with vSphere[1] or how it can be used in Linux[2][3].

Do Windows 10 20H2 and VMWare Workstation support SME and SEV?

How can I verify that at least Windows is under SME?

Config:

- AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

- Mainboard is: MSI MEG X570 Unify [2]

- Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.804]
