I had an issue in my laptop with Intel Core I5 12450H ( 4 P core + 4 E core = 8 Core and 8 E thread + 4 P thread = 12 thread ) CPU with Windows 11 Home edition. But while installing Vsphere 8.0 and any damm Virtual OS ( even Windows) on VMWare Workstation 17 pro, VMWare was giving me an error " Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform ". Checked all settings ( in CMOS BOIS VXT/VDT setting enabled ).
I got a solution from your method.. Thanks, millions

Is it possible to do a cluster(with vCenter installed on hosts) but with 2 virtual machines(each of them with ESXi) instead of 2 physical servers? can i do a failover of a VM that is in a VM(ESXi)?

Since Broadcom acquired VMware this has changed now. I don't think they do free trials anymore :/
