Little knowledge point: Mac M1/M2 VMware Fusion installs Centos 7.9 (ARM 64 version)

I recently replaced a laptop with a Mac M2 chip, and using the original Centos image to install the virtual machine directly reported an error "This virtual machine cannot be powered on because it requires an X86 computer architecture, which is not compatible with this Arm computer architecture host."

In the past, Macs with Intel chips used Parallels Desktop to play virtual machines. Now the new Mac uses a new M2 chip. I thought that the x86 architecture would not need to be replaced with the arm architecture.

Later, I browsed a lot of blogs and found a lot of images to run. Finally, I found a suitable one that can be used. The following is the specific process of image installation.
