After 3-4 hours of set up, twiddling, fiddling, tweaking, etc. I got it all worked out.

Windows 11 for ARM is impressively fast & responsive under VMWare Fusion 13 for M1 Macs. (Running under OS X 12.6.1 at present.)

I had no problem installing several of my small USB-connected data logging devices & getting their various custom data / RS232 / USB logging x86-compiled Windows apps to install, connect, & download data as-expected.

Glad to finally have an operable Windows 11 environment on my M1-powered Mac.

As an added bonus, of course the M1 CPU continues to operate very cool & the overall (Mac OS X) Activity Monitor CPU levels remain quite low even while I have the Windows 11 virtual machine running. (Assigned it 8GB physical RAM, out of the 32GB RAM available on my laptop.)

Thanks again for writing up that very detailed & completely accurate How-To guide for M1 Fusion w/ Windows 11 ARM. Using the Mac OS X ISO prep & install path worked smooth as butter.
