I want to install windows 11 as a standalone Qube ??? What is best most easiest way ? I do have an .iso file of Windows 11 as a startup media.
Where to place this .iso file for installation ? Onto an USB Stick ??

Windows qubes

Onto a separate partition within dom0 environment ???

I do want to install the vm in a separate partition named vm, created at installation of the Qubes System and which is accessible by dom0.

Why do you want to use Windows on a separate partition on the disk instead of installing in inside Qubes OS storage?
Maybe you can try to do it like this by attaching this partition to the qube and installing Windows on it but it’s untested:

Installed Qubes to external drive, is it possible to boot win drive as VM?

You can try this: Create HVM, set uefi feature for it: qvm-features <vm-name> uefi 1 Add ovmf.bin in your dom0: Unmount the EFI System partition from Qubes OS: sudo umount /boot/efi Presistently attach the EFI System and Windows partitions as block devices to your qube: qvm-block a --persistent qubename dom0:nvme0n1p1 qvm-block a --persistent qubename dom0:nvme0n1p2 Boot from qube and if you end up in startup.nsh shell then enter exit to enter UEFI menu and in Boot Manger select WIndows…
