How do I create a windows server vm on existing linux server running cPanel?

I have a web server running Almalinux and cPanel (LAMP Stack). We need to run a new web app created with ASP.net and SQL Server on the same server and according to our research, there is no way to do that from inside cPanel or WHM. So, we have been considering creating a Windows Server VM for that purpose. Based on the above, I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible to achieve this setup using standard vmware software, or does it require any special tools or considerations? 2. Will this be optimal for the situation described, or am I missing something or better options?
