Windows 10 for ARM screams in Parallels on my M1 MBP.One important limitation is that Parallels will work with macOS versions up to High Sierra on Intel Macs, but M1 Macs must run Big Sur or later. It is really embarrassing for Qualcomm to be so truly beaten in cpu performance. I am running Windows 10 for arm under parallels and it works great to but since corporate IT is not going to add that to the corporate domain it's just for play. I still use Parallels for my linux VM that I use when I need to look at customer provided logs.

This machine has 60% battery left at the end of the day with the screen on 100% of the time and never get's warm so it's perfectly lappable without cooking the family jewels. I can run all the crap work uses that is windows only over RDP and run teams and zoom natively on my MacBook Pro. So now for the first time in 10 years I use my work provided laptop every day (I work) but as a masking I RDP to from my M1 MacBook Pro. Then I discovered that corporate IT have not blocked RDP on my work laptop. I thought I would never move to the new M1 mac's since I have to run windows for work. Even potentially game machines could be at risk (I believe the Playstation 3 was based on PowerPC architecture not Intel and with nVidia's ARM announcements there is potential for movement in that market as well). Chromebooks and Apple on the mobile side and servers moving to ARM in the future - the Graviton2 instances at Amazon give significant cost savings for the same performance on their ARM instances than their x86 instances). Microsoft could double down and retrench completely x86 world, but there is a risk in doing that that they will both be technologically behind and seen as being behind that they might continually lose market share to ARM in the future (i.e. I doubt you will ever have as efficient an x86 processor as you will with ARM based one (or for that matter a RISC-V one as it matures), the issue is that Microsoft has bent over backwards for so long trying to maintain as complete as possible compatibility that the applications technically speaking stagnated on old stacks that are now problematic when it comes to moving forward to a potentially new architecture. Also Microsoft's interests and Intel's interests are not necessarily the same (nor are all market segments the same themselves - so the situation is rather complicated). You either cannibalize your own market, or someone else will do it for you eventually. Tagged with Apple M1, Parallels, Parallels Desktop 16

Customers who install guest operating systems in Parallels Desktop virtual machines are responsible for making sure that they are compliant with each OSs’ end-user licensing agreement (EULA).”

Or, as Parallels notes, “Running VMs on Apple M1 Mac computers in Parallels Desktop 16.5 requires ARM-based operating systems (OSs). Instead, you must install a non-supported and time-limited copy of Windows 10 on ARM Preview via the Windows Insider program and then keep it up-to-date.

If you’re using Parallels Desktop on a new M1-based Mac, you still cannot virtualize mainstream Windows 10 versions. The sticking point, here, of course, is Windows.

“Apple’s M1 chip is a significant breakthrough for Mac users,” Parallels senior vice president Nick Dobrovolskiy says. Instead, you’re stuck with an unsupported preview version of Windows 10 on ARM via the Windows Insider Program. That said, you still can’t run normal Windows 10 in a VM.

Parallels Desktop 16.5 is now available on the Mac, offering native M1 support.
