Thanks, Kent. Based on Jeremy's  advice, I first tried VMWare WS Pro
on my Deb 11 host, but couldn't get past the links wanting me to log
in to Broadcom. Next I went to VB but had problems with installation
errors and complaints about needing some code chunks  signed.

Reluctantly I went to KVM/QEMU where I had had a bad experience last
year. I deleted the two files I found there and found my Windows 10
Pro license and started from scratch.

Note this time I did a couple of things differently:

1. I did not try to install MacOS as I had before I tried Windows.

2. I gave the process 8 threads, 40 Gb of RAM, and 100 Gb of SSD space.

It installed like a charm and I look forward to exercising it.

Thanks all!

-Tom
