..this is not a NR question.  
You should read the victron documentation first....

What is it you want to run on Win11??? NR, probably?

...what is your UseCase exactly?

...read the Documentation. With VenusOS Large, NR is already installed on it.

When using the victron contrib nodes, this choice is automagically made for you....the nodes will interact with the Cerbo....again, it is all in the documentation [Venus OS Large image: Signal K and Node-RED [Victron Energy]](https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:large#introduction)
