I skipped the procedures in the Companion Guide for building an ISO from and jumped straight to the procedure to create a VM and install from ISO. The ISO appears to be a pretty vanilla version of Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621.525). So I asked myself: "Self, I wonder if this ISO will work with Fusion?" Parallels tech notes say that they are downloading the file "from Microsoft". The first thing that it did was to download a Windows 11 ARM installation ISO file named:Ģ_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_A64FRE_en-us.iso After installation I proceeded to have it install a Windows 11 VM. I installed the trial version of Parallels Desktop 18 as I was curious what build of Windows 11 they were using.
And, fret not, most 64-bit Windows applications are compatible with this version of Windows 11.I ran a little experiment after seeing what Microsoft and Parallels announced this week. With this approach, Windows 11 will use the hardware resources of the Mac to run applications without the need to reboot the computer. This means that we can run Windows 11 on our M-series Macs, while still enjoying the features of macOS. To run Windows 11 on M-series Macs, we will use virtualization software, which allows us to create a virtual machine that simulates a different hardware environment for the guest operating system.
However, Microsoft has recognized the importance of the ARM architecture and is developing an ARM version of Windows 11 that is currently available as an 'Insider Preview' (beta).
Windows 11 is designed to run on x86-64 architecture and requires specific drivers and software that are not compatible with ARM-based processors. This is because M1 and M2 Apple Macs use a different processor architecture (ARM) than traditional Intel-based processors. Before we begin, it is worth pointing out that we can't natively install Windows 11 on M-series Macs like we can on Intel-based Apple computers.
