If you do that, you might want to consider using the released 22H2 ISO downloaded using the VMware tool present in Fusion 13.5.

There's really no need for the majority of people to be running anything other than the release channel versions - especially now that Fusion 13.5 has a built in mechanism to obtain release channel ISO of Windows 11 ARM 'from Microsoft'.

Then install from that and stay on the release channel. If it were me, I'd use the tool built into Fusion 13.5 to build a release channel Windows 11 22H2 ISO from Microsoft (same as what Parallels does).
