As far as I can tell everything needed is installed and up to date but when I click Yast>Virtualizastion>Create-VM (OR command virt-manager) all I get is the virt-manager GUI popup saying

Check if virtqemud.socket service is enabled, perhaps? FWIW, I am using libvirt on Leap, and that one is disabled, but virt-manager works without issues.
"NetworkManager is being used. Bridge configuration must be done manually" (I use usb wifi adapters exclusively)
AFAIK, using wifi for qemu/libvirt networking is possible, but not really recommended. I use 'regular' bridge, as recommended by SUSE docs :)
Other related qieuestion:
If my mobo does not support UEFI, does that limit UEFI in a VM i.e. win-11 required TPM and EFI?
Nope, I had Win10,Win11 and some server Windows versions VM's using UEFI/SecureBoot and TPM(with swtpm) on a legacy BIOS machine.

Thanks! I found something (way over my head and maybe systemd related) here (down around the last 3rd of the page):
https://libvirt.org/daemons.html
The author suggests a test and the running of virtqemud instead of libvirtd. These tests show that NEITHER is running, which is surprising though it's all chinese to me:
/ # systemctl is-active virtqemud.socket inactive / # systemctl is-active virtqemud.service inactive / # systemctl is-active libvirtd.socket inactive / # systemctl is-active libvirtd.service inactive
So, I suppose I should take some to be doiscovered steps to set virtqemud up to be started each boot?
As for the USB wifi the setup doesn't seem to bother Oracle's VirtualBox under which win-7 connects the internet with a usb-wifi. Initially though I just want to run win-11 deferring sundries until after.
Addendum via answer to my last: # systemctl start virtqemud.service # systemctl is-active virtqemud.service active # virt-manager "Error: No active connection to install on"
