I still have Win 11 on my Trycoo mini PC. I need it to make sure my code
builds and runs in that OS. Also, getting code to run in more than one
platform tends to ferret out undesirable assumptions.
 

I've still got XP running in a virtual machine.  It runs Corel suite, a
specialist engineering program, and a 3D CAD package.

The joys of Virtual Box

I have Win 10 in Virtual Box. The mini PC came with Win 11 Pro at not much more
than the cost of Win 11 Pro alone.

I supposed I could convert Win 11 to a VM (I did that years ago with XP).
Probably would require activation, who knows. Who cares.
