The following step-by-step guide shows how to install Microsoft Windows 11 (latest Insider Preview build 22463.1000) on top of VirtualBox 6.1; this guide has been tested and verified on both macOS as well as Linux hosts. This is to address the reported issue that Windows 11 could not be installed as a VirtualBox VM.
NB: those instructions should be also valid for [Microsoft Windows 11 Generally Available release, actually targeted for October 5, 2021](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/08/31/windows-11-available-on-october-5/).
The first step is to properly configure the virtual machine that will guest the "Microsoft Windows 11" Installation; the virtual machine has to be configured in the following way (minimum requirements), based on official "[Windows 11 Specs and System Requirements](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications)" and your system needs to have [proper updated x86 CPU](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements):
System - Motherboard
RAM: 4GB (minimum) - 8GB (minimum suggested)
EFI (Special OSes only) enabled
8) Boot from USB Windows Install
9) Add license key
