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.

Personally I run VMware with windows on it.

This VM is disconnected from internet access and put on a separate VLAN on my network but has access to one share folder on my NAS.

Its overkill but fits my needs when I want to roll back the VM or save multiple sessions of it.
