If you have an Apple keyboard with numeric keypad Then the “0” key on the numeric keypad is INSERT in Windows. Thanks to Hans Hillen for pointing this out. I need the insert key in the Midnight Commander (MC) running in Terminal and in Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) when connecting to my Windows PC. If you wish, you can also map other keys (such as the relatively unused F16) to INSERT, too (more details below). For Midnight Commander the answer is Ctrl+T.

Use your Virtual Machine to map a key (or combination) to INSERT In this case, you have three options, detailed below.
