The new checkbox hasn't been released. You may need to join the office insider to use it.
I can not find Checkboxes in Insert Menu
I saw a video showing that now you can select Menu Insert so you can find checkbox and you can add to cells as you insert a function or a text

this ability to insert checkboxes right from Insert menu is just made by Google Sheets app until now.

in this video from Leila also the "cell controls" are mentioned:
How to Insert a Checkbox in Excel - Xelplus - Leila Gharani
The option "Insert | Cell Controls | Checkbox" can be found e. g. in version 2406, but with one of the latest updates it seems to be lost again.
Best regards,

Looks like some updates have it and and others don't.
It's been a hit and miss.However, you can find the Checkbox option in the browser version of Excel.
It's under the Insert Tab.
A bit inconvenient, but it works.
