I am writing this answer using Windows 11 installed under "UTM" on my wife's M1 MacBook Pro. Both cost nothing by the way. "Both" of course means Windows 11 and UTM, the Macbook was a little bit more costly. Installation took, as usual, more time than expected (because everything is evolving fast and documentation is not keeping up with the software...). But Google found some useful answers and finally I got it on it's way. It seems to run nicely including internet, performance is excellent. As fast as any other Windows installation I have worked with. I set the resolution of the emulated Windows to Full HD because of the title of this thread but it looks a bit ugly. Must try something more pleasing instead...

I am really not much interested in Windows or emulated/simulated calculators (prefer to collect and repair the real calculators for which unfortunately I have little practical use) but if I can check out anything I will happily do so. Any specific calculator to try out in this environment maybe?
