Moving from an Intel Mac to Apple Silicon and Windows 11 licensing

I understand that a Windows VM created on an Intel Mac will not work if copied to an Apple Silicon Mac. I have a few questions. 

1.  This means I must create a new Windows VM from scratch on the Apple Silicon Mac, yes?

2.  What does this mean in terms of Windows licensing?  My current VM started life as a (completely legal and licensed) Windows 7 install. That was then upgraded to Windows 10 back when one could do that for free. Then, just recently, I upgraded the OS on the VM to Windows 11, again for free. Do I need to buy a new Windows 11 license, or is there a way to use my current, but older license? (I don't know if it would be useful, but I still have copies of the VMs running older versions of Windows.)
