Echoing what @scott28tt says. Ignore what that video says. The instructions are obsolete and more complex than it has to be. The author should do everyone a favor and remove it.

You can’t use a Windows 11 ISO file you download from Microsoft as it’s for machines that have an Intel CPU. M1/M2 Macs do not have Intel CPUs and won’t run the Windows contained in that ISO. You need the ARM version of Windows 11 to run it in a VM on M1/M2 Macs. The problem is  is that Microsoft does not make it directly available for consumers. The instructions in the document tell you how to get around that and create an installation ISO with the released version of Windows 11 ARM  

And don’t use the Insider Preview VHDX files - those are pre-release versions and you will end up with a flaky, beta version of Windows that is not easily updated  

The procedures and tools referenced in the document linked to by @scott28tt will get you the released version of a Windows 11 ARM ISO and tell you how to install it. The VMware video and network drivers still need to be installed via Powershell, but that’s not a hard process if you follow the instructions.
