While I don’t pay attention to Apple tech and its needs all that often, the change from Intel to ARM64 should have triggered at least a cursory look knowing that the code for each is not compatible. As of today, the only versions of Windows that Parallels can run on an M1 Mac are the Insider Previews for Windows 10 and Windows 11 because those versions of the OS are able to run on ARM. NOTE: Full responsibility for the purchase lies with me. Keep this in mind: No purchase necessary at the time of this writing! We’re still waiting to see if we can get a refund. While M1 users have to deal with Windows on Arm, they also get some performance improvements if they’re coming from Parallels 16: Parallels says that the new version will let M1 Macs get up to. The language on the Parallels page for installing was not too clear so we ended up purchasing a license for what turned out to be the Intel/x86 chip. Microsoft poured cold water on hopes that its Windows on ARM solution will one day support Apple Silicon, saying that running ARM versions of Windows 11 on M1 Macs is not 'a supported scenario. Log on with a Microsoft ID, input key, and download.Open Windows Settings > System > Activation. Windows will be automatically activated after a successful purchase. Click 'Buy' and proceed with the purchase process. Click Get a new license in the Microsoft Store app'. Office: We used Office for Home & Business ( ) Open Windows Settings > System > Activation.Note the key needed to activate once installed.Sign-up for the Windows Insider Preview Program Required.Parallels: Parallels Desktop for Mac with Apple M1 chip.The same is true for Office on ARM64: Beta Mode. There are a couple of caveats when it comes to setting up Windows and Office on the new chip: Its been exactly over one month since the M1 Mac mini hit the market, and over two weeks since Windows 10 ARM virtualisation has been achieved using QEMU. We are setting up a new Apple MacBook Air with the M1 ARM64 based processor.
