Unable to install Monterey in a VM

[Robert40]

Hello. I was attempting to install Monterey as a VM this morning. First I didn't see the option in Control Center after downloading the install app file from System Preferences. Then I attempted to install it by using "Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file" and after it created a bootable disk image file, it gave me the following error message.

Model: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
