UTM installation and UTM tasks report

Objective:

Setting up UTM on your device is crucial for creating a virtual machine to run
different operating systems. Specifically, we're installing Windows 11 through UTM
because VirtualBox isn't available for Mac computers. This report looks into the
process and importance of using UTM as an alternative for virtualization on macOS.

Introduction:

Virtual machines, or VMs, are like virtual computers that run on your actual
computer. They allow you to use different operating systems on one machine,
making it more efficient and flexible. VMs are useful for various tasks, from
consolidating servers in data centers to creating separate environments for
development and testing. In essence, they bring a lot of benefits by making
computing more versatile and efficient.
