The M/B is ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4 with 64G RAM. Video is from the motherboard.
I tried numerous attempts at creating the VM accepting the defaults, at times exceeding them.
I specify the location of the ISO and VMWare identifies that it is a Windows 11 installation disk.
When I start the VM the ISO file is not load.
I'll uninstall VMWare and reinstall it again. I'll post screen shots. I'll post the log.
-----------------------------
I mentioned that I transferred a running VM (Windows 10) from an old computer and even this didn't load.
