How to safely run a Sandbox/Virtual Machine on Win11 for a sketchy software? (lemmy.ml)

I used to run this already sketchy software with its even sketchier crack on my old notebook because I really didn't give a fuck about how syphilitic it was, but now that I need it again and only have my current device, I'm kinda worried.

ps: it needs internet connection.

Windows 11 is sketchy software

Surprised at the downvotes. I only run Windows these days blocked from the internet in my firewall. Treat it like the malware it is.

I bet the downvotes are because it's not helpful to OP.
