Windows for ARM technical preview editions have built-in emulation for both X86-32 and X86-64 Windows applications, so you don't need anything to run Windows applications developed for the Intel architecture other than get Parallels Desktop (16 or 17) and download and install a free technical preview version of Windows for ARM (10 or 11). I've never seen such a great performance in Windows even running X86-64 Windows on Intel hardware directly. For Windows 10, you can use either Parallels Desktop 16 or Parallels Desktop 17.Īnd when I say it runs perfectly, I mean perfectly. You need Parallels Desktop 16 to run Windows 10, but to run Windows 11, you must have Parallels Desktop 17. Windows 10 and Windows 11 for ARM (technical preview editions - aka free) run perfectly on M1 Macs in Parallels.
