Virtual machines windows servers 2012 - 2022 on MacBook Pro 2021 M1
Hello, I would like to virtualize windows servers (2012 - 2022) on Virtual box or even on UTM. Is it possible to virtualize them on a MacBook Pro 2021 M1? Thank you

I have trying installing different versions for Servers 2019 and 2022. They don’t support ARM based x64.
A virtual machine is not an emulator
your apple mx cpu is arm based and can only run virtual machines that use arm architecture, you need to get arm based isos though microsoft does not make any arm based server operating systems
and they don't sell arm based windows versions to end users at all, they have a developer version for arm on win10 and win11
