how to get VMware Fusion to restart in Big Sur after upgrade

after sticking with Mac and the Intel chip to facilitate being able to continue to use VMware Fusion, i have just accepted a suggestion to upgrade to the latest 12.2.1 i cant open and run my usual virtual machine.. I know when I upgraded to version 12 Apple customer care stepped me through the things that had to be changed in the options on my mac.. I suppose they have to be done again.. but were those options! hoping to avoid a phone call to apple care for this issue..
