When you post a question such as yours, it would serve you better to state that you have an Intel or Apple Silicon architecture Mac running a specific operating system version. That reduces the fishing expedition as to what specifically will work in your case.
I use the current version of Parallel's Desktop Pro 19.3.1 on an 8-Core, Core i7 27-in 2020 iMac. Parallels charges me around $120/yr subscription and I have Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 Pro 22H2 guests. Those guests are installed on an external Crucial X8 SSD (1050 MB/s) connected to my Thunderbolt 3 port. The iMac is running macOS Monterey 12.7.5.
Microsoft has only publicly sanctioned Parallels for running Windows 11 ARM on Apple Silicon Macs. VMware is now offering a free, non-commercial user license for their Fusion VM client, but very likely will want personal information that at minimum may result in ramped email SPAM. Nothing is truly free with these vendors.
The free Oracle VirtualBox VM is only compatible (their current data) with Intel Macs running Monterey or earlier. I quit using VirtualBox after several years for Parallels Desktop.
Stack Social has Windows 11 Pro licenses in the $25 range (today) and you should have a Microsoft account because an aspect of the purchase process requires one to sign into a Microsoft account so the license purchase is registered with Microsoft. I purchased Office 2021 for Mac and Office 2021 Professional Plus for Windows through them and never paid more than $35 each.
Microsoft Windows licenses are platform-agnostic and can be used for ARM or Intel.
