I'm a certified Mac tech. OP's easiest option is to purchase Virtual Machine software and load Win11 on it. I think mac might have some free stuff out there in the crApple store.

Of course, he will need to increase his storage capacity or clear out space on his current drive. He will need enough space to run his VM, at least 8 GB for the RAM simulation Win11 needs, and space for the Operating system. Depending on the version, Win11 can take up anywhere from 20-40GB in most cases.

"So I have a MacBook Pro"

Stopped right there. Isn't everything Apple just supposed to work and work until Apple decides you need a new computer and shuts yours down?
Apple is telling you it's time to buy an over priced POS.

HOWEVER; if you're hell bent on trying it anyways look into something called "Boot Camp"

boot camp is old school and still no easier. VMware is the way to go.
