I’m using windows 10 mostly, but I have another one made recently for win 11 because of another stupid manufacturer with stupid requirements.
Once I made the first VM, I made a clone. The clone is what gets the software installation, the original just stays stored on my NAS so I can clone again as stupid manufacturers distribute stupid software that requires windows. I name each VM based on the app its going to run.
Some are a suite of apps and companion applications, some are just a singular application.

Op, This is the best answer. I’ve set up a Windows server using this method. I was blown away by how easy proxmox makes the whole thing.
I use rust desk too btw when I need to remote on for maintenance, etc.
