Let's turn on the virtual machine and install Windows 11. You can see there is no more warning about unsupported hardware requirement.

You continue with the installation as usual until you are asked to connect to the internet for the virtual machine. Here you use the Shift+F10 key combination to open the command window. You use the command below to bypass the requirement to use a Microsoft account to install Windows 11. A short and useful command:

You then continue to install Windows 11 without using a Microsoft account. Instead you set up a local account for the virtual machine.

At this step, you connect to the internet for a physical computer. At the same time your virtual machine will be connected to the internet. So I have introduced you to the different steps when installing Windows 11 on a virtual machine compared to on a physical computer.

The rest of the steps you install as on a physical computer. Next you install the vmware tool to display the full screen for the virtual machine.
