Run Windows 11 on Raspberry Pi 5 with Botspot Virtual Machine ["don’t expect to be playing triple A games here. Older games (like 10-15 years ago) and web games should work ok."] (www.tomshardware.com)

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Lost me at “run windows 11”

Seems like a pointless exercise.

If anything, it would be more interesting to run a full x86 emulator to install Windows 98 / Windows XP to run older games. There are games that work better on native Windows 98 than via compatibility mode on W10.

Wouldnt it be just better to run wine with a translation layer? Windows vm will just eat half of the resources

Mini PCs with a n100 or used office PCs are probably not that much more expensive and a much better alternative, if your goal is to run windows on them and you don't already have the Raspberry Pi lying around.
