Speaking of Windows 11 requiring UEFI. I found this article
that says Windows 10 has tools already shipped with it to
convert Windows 10 from BIOS to UEFI:

I may copy my VM image to a safe backup location and see if
I can convert my existing Windows 10 KVM from BIOS to UEFI
successfully (and not have Microsoft tell me it breaks my
activation for my single PC only OEM Windows version).
What do I do to the KVM definition to switch to UEFI? I assume
I need to point to a different bios in the xml or something like
that?
Probably..... I have a win10 (bios) and win11 (uefi). Looking at their xml
definition.
win10
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.1'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
<bootmenu enable='yes'/>
</os>
win11
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-5.2'>hvm</type>
<loader readonly='yes'
type='pflash'>/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>
<nvram>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/win11_VARS.fd</nvram>
</os>
So, I suppose you can use that as I guide.
I await the results of your "experiment". :-) :-)
