Let me get this straight. The "Official" part of Windows running on Mac silicon is Microsoft officially saying you should use Parallels to run Windows on Macs. Officially non-news.
Yeah, and I feel like 😒
yeah, I mean people used to install windows using parallels even before. so what is the big deal?
@@BinuJasim before you had to be part of the windows insider program to have access to the ISO, now its officially supported, much simpler
Shitty parallels consumes alot of battery
@@TJCCBR47 the announcement is pointless as the installer as shown has been there since v18 of Parallels which has been out since last year.
I never thought I would admit this but Parallels Continuity Mode was a game changer for me. My entire business runs off Mac and it’s ecosystem natively but I need to use several engineering tools that are built for windows only. Having continuity mode enabled allows me to just Alt Tab into a windows program right from mac without having to switch between environments. It really took some getting used to but I would recommend trying it out for a couple days if you haven’t
i was thinking to do it for microsoft outlook, mac version of outlook is just trash...
Yeah! Technically it’s called “coherence”.
By any chance on your side, do the apps run slower though? Graphics wise… I didn’t try again since I did on an iMac 2020, now on an M1 Mac Studio, but I do remember having stuck to normal windowed mode because the floating coherence mode was lagging at times: mouse for example moved extremely slow. I do use a couple of 5K monitors plus a couple others non 5K.
That said, the idea is magnificent, the running windows apps do feel just like as if it were running directly on Mac. I love parallels desktop and how far away it has come along… I even use 3dsmax like that now, no need for a separate windows PC just for that (granted, it’s minor low poly game work).
the problem here is parallels you have to pay every month or yearly subscription fees so not worth it
@@BlingJ. no you don’t. They have a single payment option. I have it.
@@BlingJ. 🏴☠
I sure wish it wasn't subscription based software. I'll stick with open source UTM until Parallels brings us DX12 support.
I tried UTM, but it doesn’t have 3D acceleration for gaming at all :/
@@JussimirPasold correct, UTM is certainly not for gaming.

I've used Windows personally and professionally since Windows 3 beta. I bought an M1 Macbook Air when it first came out, got Windows running on it, and have to admit, it is the best Windows laptop I've ever used.

@@BlingJ. Why you spamming this under every comment bro lmfao
@@BlingJ. So what do you prefer: One time payment or free and with ads?
@@BlingJ. Actually, no. You just can buy it and it's yours. The yearly plan just refers to a year of updates. You maybe need that if you are upgrading from Ventura to the next MacOS version. But other than that, it's a lifetime license.
Can you advise on whether running windows on Macbook has any battery drawdown effects
Me: "Holy shit!"
Alex: "Support in Parallels"
Me: "Oh"
Yep, since M1 came out, I’ve also been using parallels as an power bi developer. It’s the best of both world. 😊
Hi, does Visual Studio work on Parallels? I need the Visual Studio with C++ and the MacOS version doesn't have that.
How much ram are you using up with the VM running?
@@Speed_7545 24MB RAM for VM Windows11Pro of 32MB MacBook Pro M1 Max 2021. Coherence makes all the windows app look like a part of MacOS eco system. 👌

these devs at parallels are some lovely geniuses.
the problem here is parallels you have to pay every month or yearly subscription fees so not worth it
@@BlingJ. true. but nowadays even cars manufacturers charge monthly for heated seats or better acceleration, so it's not crazy for parallels to ask for continous flow of money for a project that needs continous development.
in comparison, there's oracle's free alternative and it's not even out yet.
@@mehregankbi what you're doing here is you're gaslighting on behalf of billionaires. And you're doing it for free. Well done.
@@BlingJ. you can buy the current version. I know cause I did last year lol! They try to get you to upgrade but it still works on new OS name escaping my mind.
The subscription is also better if you’re a student.
I’m in college and need windows applications for my classes. Performance can waiver on if the program offers an arm application. I got a noticeable boost if the program was built for Arm.
windows on mac has no right to be this good.
I was able to install engineering software and run it faster than my work laptop.
the M series chips are wild.
Which softwares to be particular? Solidworks?
@@Design_Nerd Oh! Do you use the base version or the business edition? Asking because CAD software require a lot of RAM and the base version only provides 6 gigs of ram

I installed parallels and win11 3 days ago and i was shocked by the performance and features.. it's insanely good! On a Mac mini 16gb.
It's remarkable how well it runs. Windows 11 on my Macbook feels way snappier than on my 12th-gen Intel PC. I never thought my best Windows machine would be my Mac, but here we are.
@dlog same. My macmini m2 replaced my amd 3700 windows machine. Faster, uses less energy... it's a leap in technology.
@@nst1nct That's bs though you're running windows 11 ARM. A toaster can run that and the new MacOS. All the new MacBooks are glorified ipads. It uses trickery on video editing thats why its so fast. As for raw power it doesn't come close to even 3 year old pc's.
@@Ervinnd I'm comparing to a 12th gen Intel PC with 32GB RAM and mobile RTX 3070. Except for gaming, everything feels faster in the VM than on my Windows PC. It even scores higher on Geekbench in the VM on the CPU tests. I'm getting ready to sell my PC, as I very rarely play the latest games anyway. I can live with only having support for DX11 and below.
@@Ervinnd it uses trickery on video editing, why don’t you just say black magic or voodoo instead? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is such great news!
😂😂😂
for consumers this is no news at all, nothing new
"Small" drawback: Bootcamp was free, Parallels isn't.
I suspect that for most people the most economical method is to just buy 2 computers if you really must have a Mac with the absurd prices Apple charges for upgrades. You're going to need a memory and storage upgrade, which puts you at $400. Put in another $200 and you can get a pretty decent PC laptop for $600.
For me, the stuff I need Windows for requires drivers that only run on Intel Core processors 11th Gen and older, so AS isn't even an option. It technically works on all x86 processors, but on AMD or even Celeron chips it crashes a lot. I tried it on a Surface Pro X and it doesn't run at all - well it says it's running, but nothing works. That and games, but at that point Mac just disqualifies itself.
I have never used Mac, but I am looking to buy one soonest and run Windows in it. After like 1.6 yrs of using a windows laptop, I find decline. It states doing restarting even in the first year. It can't hold apps on for a many weeks if you hibernate, without having to restart or shut down. What do you suggest?
@@chimatasie7854 I've never had those specific issues other than slowing down. Prior to Windows 10, it would gradually slow down after years, but I don't think this is much of an issue anymore. The cheapest and perhaps easiest way to start is to backup all your data and reinstall Windows. It might save you from needing a new computer.
With Apple Silicon, running Windows or Linux as your primary OS on a mac isn't practical anymore. If you buy a Mac, plan on using Mac OS. I prefer Windows or Linux over Mac most of the time, but I get by just fine on it.
Lastly, is the PC you're having issues on much cheaper? If you're comparing a low-end $500 PC to a high[ish]-end $2,000 Mac, of course there's going to be a disparity.
There may have been a time when Mac was significantly better than Windows around the XP and Vista years. But for the longest time, it's just a preference. The only differences is that after dropping the Butterfly keyboard MacBook Air, Apple doesn't make bad hardware anymore. Most PC manufacturers have the problem that they make both genuinely excellent products and products designed to be garbage, making finding a good computer more difficult.
In Apple’s defense, wouldn’t Boot Camp on ARM be drastically different from the old Boot Camp? In the olden days, Macs were mostly standard PC hardware inside, so Boot Camp didn’t do much. Now on Silicon, Boot Camp would either have to map Windows and Linux to a ton of custom (and secretive) Apple hardware, or emulate PC hardware. Would it be any better than virtualization?
I don't know what the future of BootCamp holds, and wanting to use Windows natively was a major factor for me to buy another Windows laptop last year instead of a M1 Pro MacBook Pro (I got an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and have mixed feelings about it after owning it for 10 months). Apple has publicly said they're open to working on BootCamp for M1 once MS allows Windows ARM to be licensed outside of the Qualcomm contract. Let's see what happens. Apple is open to allowing/working on it, and Windows is now possible to (legally) be used on ARM. It's now Apple's turn to make good on their word.
@@Teku175 I hope you are right. I wish Apple were doing more to support the Asahi Linux folks’ efforts. Asahi has the same graphics and virtualization problems that Windows-in-Parallels has.
@@Teku175 Apple Silicon hardware and boot process is _radically_ different from the SBBR-based platforms that Windows on ARM is designed to run on. Everything from the boot protocol to even the interrupt controller is different. While Microsoft has been known to bridge comparable differences with things like custom HAL drivers, I just can't see them putting so much effort into supporting native Mac booting, even if Apple were to provide documentation. Especially now that the deal with Parallels is in place, so they can just direct the customers who want a Mac solution to them.
Boot Camp on Intel only worked because Intel Macs were literally PCs, with just slight modifications. Apple could provide Windows support by just writing a couple of drivers, booting Windows in itself was trivial, especially since Windows started supporting UEFI boot. Apple Silicon is an entirely different beast. Only Microsoft can write the custom variant kernel/HAL/bootloader set that would be necessary. My bet is that they won't.
@@theontologist What do you mean about "the same graphics and virtualization problems"? KVM works in Asahi out of the box - there's just one layer of virtualization (Asahi is running natively), so there's no problem here. Graphics support is rudimentary at best, but that's because Asahi folks need to write a reverse-engineered graphics driver from scratch, which is obviously a difficult task, but mostly unrelated to Windows-on-Parallels issues.
Virtualization is probably better in many aspects if you have the RAM to support it.
I think part of the problem is that MS needs either to build Windows for other ARM SoCs or needs to hire silicon engineers to build their own like Apple did. I think the engineering can be done but MS needs to take this endeavor seriously.
The problem was that they had licensed Windows for ARM to one company for exclusive rights. When that agreement ended, then Microsoft was free to open up licensing. That is what this whole video and Microsoft announcement is all about.
During the locked agreement, Microsoft provided for free use to all Parallels for Mac users a copy of their developer's version of Windows. Now, we can install the regular version of Microsoft Windows for ARM so long as we buy the license.
Microsoft designing their own processors would best optimize the Windows experience, especially in their MS built machines (i.e. surface laptop) However, they don't sell enough volume to integrate backwards into chip production to compete with intel or amd. They'd have to burn through an inordinate amounts of cash for many years to make a chip with comparable performance, given that the inccumbents stay still.
On the other hand, Apple sells enough volume to justify backwards integration. Further, Apple's move into using ARM means they don't have to compete with Intel or AMD
This is a move more realistic for Samsung to make.
Imo, MS should focus on software, especially in AI where they have a large lead on Apple thanks to OpenAi.
In the short term, MS can optimize integration with 3rd party hardware by forming tight partnerships with those manufacturers (Dell, Asus, etc). It'd be mutually beneficial since MS can influence the manufacturer on how to create better designs optimized for its hardware while the manufacturer can influence MS in better optimizing the OS for their hardware.
As you said, they also need go full on in developing an Arm based ecosystem. It appears that is where the future is going towards, atleast for mass consumption. If theyre able to do that and sell enough volume (ARM powered Windows machines), they can consider backwards integratiom into chip manufacturing
- Windows, Apple, & Samsung user
They have attempted this... There are titles and RUclips jumping and down, excited.... but it's just fluff..
There is no evidence 'Intel changing the world'
@@luisvreyes7099 there are Surface tablets with ARM chips... but how many x86 apps run on them ?? You go where the apps are, not where the hardware is. I'm sure it looks like a great little device, but if no one can do MS word documents without crashing, its a dead paperweight.
I’ve been using parallels since 2008. It’s been available longer than you thought, also it’s always been the better option compared to VMware fusion. In 2008 I was on version 4, now it’s on 18!
fusion was great on intel macs right up until about 2018-2019. then parallels leaped over it
Awesome
the problem here is parallels you have to pay every month or yearly subscription fees so not worth it
@@BlingJ. Parallels Desktop is 100$ one time purchase
Yeap , I use it the first day they came to apple.
Parallels is okay for some production apps. But for gaming, totally useless! Boot Camp was the only way to use Windows on a Mac for gaming.
0:18: you got that mixed up. Parallels was the first virtualization solution for Intel Macs. Fusion came quite a bit later.
Just one complaint, I prefer when a presenter speaks to me facing me as you do for most of your video. The side shots of your face are annoying. I've seen a fair share of presenters doing this jump to a side view. and then back to a front view of themselves talking.This breaks my attention as a viewer from whats being said.
Shut up
currently using UTM software, I love it because it is free, however Parallel still runs smoothly and feels different as I was able to try the trial version before.
UTM is great. And free.
Personally, MS should quit ditzing around with MS Windows and just rewrite all their stuff for Apple Silicon, including MS Access. MS Windows is bloated, just like the old Mac System 7/8 OS, and is probably full of spyware, old drivers left over from Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, and who knows what else (hint: Solitaire.) 🤫 Just my opinion. Or maybe it’s my onion, not sure. 🤔 … 🤣🤣🤣😆
I was changing my brand new Mac book air to a brand new laptop pc. I really need windows on it, and this arm version have a lot on bugs. And also the price for pd is insane. That’s such a shame apple cannot come up with some fix like it was before. Boot-camp was working properly when I was having an older Mac with intel.
+1 for native solution.. Having to buy an expensive product to solve this is not great, even if it works really well.
The latest 8cx is just snapdragon 855 rebranded
Great news! But now the waiting is for Microsoft to support Windows 11 ARM boot natively on Apple Silicon Macs. Apple needs to release Windows drivers for its hardware (just like Bootcamp).
It will never happen due apple killing intel, AMD, Nivida drivers and kill all ties
@@macgamer1973 Apple still has a relationship with Intel in Thunderbolt 3/4 (they designed it together). I don't think Apple will cut off relations with any company at all. Why would they?
These social media people are just a joke. windows still runs on parallels no support of any real kind. Youre welcome.
I prefer to stay within macOS these days, but it’s great to have the option to run Windows if you need certain apps…
Most apps do not support ARM. So it doesn't work in most cases.
@@adama-k2710Microsoft has a translation layer. Most x86 apps do work on windows arm.
@@adama-k2710 I bet a lot of usage is from people who need to work in the windows versions of excel and word and users who need to connect to Windows networks for remote work.
@mrparts that's fine, but if you need Visual Studio for example to compile code in C#, you're screwed
@@adama-k2710 I’d say anyone working in C# for a living needs to work in a native windows machine and forget about the mac.
And what is difference if you install windows on virtual machine without parallel?
It was cheaper to buy a used thinkpad. It’s useful to have x86 around for now.
Depends on your needs. Obviously not as fast
I prefer the new VMware fusion player 13 which is entirely free for personal use. Windows 11 Pro works seamlessly on my MacBook Pro 14 M2.
VMWare Tools still don’t work, at least for me and many people. We can’t even share clipboards between host and guest. :-(
Can you run docker insjde?
A question popped up inside my head about eGPU. Could an external GPU be used with parallels ON MAC? 😮
No. Not supported
Actually I might prefer the opposite, having MacOS running on my older PC laptop, just because Stable Diffusion generation is 5 times faster on that Nvidia GPU than on my M1 Pro
You need to have a great reason to use parallels due to how expensive it is.
For work purposes if you need to run MS windows, it’s very cheap. For the vast majority of hobbyist and home users, there is no real need anymore.
it is pretty pricey. wish there was a lower tier version. once vmware gets their shit together, they may give some competition
I really don’t get why users (non-professionals at least) pay for software.
exactly! WINDOWS is running MUCH better on a vm (i used PARALLELS) on a mac than on a pc machine - i always wondered why 🤔
I tried it on an entry level (8GB RAM, 256 SSD) Macbook Air M1 (first model) and it ran well. I used an external monitor to run the Parallels Windows 11 while watching an FullHD stream on Twitch on Mac's screen. All setup was seamlessly fine and fast (~7min, 200mb fiber internet) and I ran Counter Strike (1.6) with steady 100 fps even forcing a lil bit (with smokes). Sometimes there was some chokes, maybe because I had Chrome open on Mac with tons os tabs open and also the Twitch stream. Overall was a good experience.
If chrome then it was RAM issues
Indeed it was 😄
Still virtual machine. Let users choose which to install as 100% working as it should, without workarounds and having 2 OSs at the same time.
Also set the price accordingly. Doesn't make sense that you will pay for 2 OSs in case you want to use only one.
Still waiting for native running/booting windows 😌
That will never happen.
I use Parallels to run the native windows version of Excel . Performance is excellent.
curious vs the macOS version of excel?
@@al3xj i have to use files with vba macros querying access databases. The Mac version of excel doesn’t work well for this.
I should say it does work but make sure you have a strong enough Mac before attempting this (it works really badly on the MacBook air 2015 so make sure its a really new laptop, I just wish it was subscription based)
I use UTM, based on QEMU. Maybe not like parallels but it’s free open-source and works super nice !
Trying to install UTM but I keep getting this >>Start PXE over IPv4 error. Can you please help?
The coherence mode is pretty cool!
Parallel has been running Wins on Mac for a longtime (at least 30 years), so it has to be very compatible and competent.
30 years lmfao what have you been smoking cuz I need some
Hey, While I had to pop in 20 "floppy disks" to load WordPerfect, and a classic "error" at the 19th disk, I wonder if you were around. in 1990's what ran on Mac was call SoftPC, full emulation of Win3.1. There is a video on RUclips about the whole process... I can't find a relation between Parallels and SoftPC, so my bad. Still my point is since Mac became more accessible, people had wanted to run Windows on a Mac. Now after, yes 30 years, it got better and truly usable. BTW, LOL, I am as clear as a whistle. Besides, Nancy said, "Just say NO!" to drugs. Hahahahaha
Apple switched from PowerPC processors to Intel ones at the beginning of 2006. I'm pretty sure that Parallels wasn't around for older 68K-based and PowerPC-based Macs.
@@qdpqbp okay whatever
Windows running in Parallel's hyper-v has been supported on M1 Macs for a while now. Rather the good news is Microsoft is providing ARM WIN11 support via Parallels.
I actually installed this last night after the news broke to check it out. Very impressive performance on M1 Pro. I did run some updates and mess around with the Microsoft Store which did trigger the "activate windows today" window. But I just closed it and nothing bad happened. I'm curious what the grace period is before they get aggressive.
It is subscription based though isn't it? I just wish i could purchase it outright.
They don't get aggressive any longer. There are some personalization settings disabled, but even the Microsoft Store can be used if you're willing to log in with an Outlook account. After a few hours a watermark will appear on the desktop with a reminder that Windows isn't activated, however there's no deadline after which anything will stop working, even after months of use.
@@Korculanac11 it’s not, at least for now.
There’s no limit. It’s been years with no enforcement. It makes sense since people interested in a virtual machine are professional users who MS wants to retain using windows.
I transferred a Windows license from an old Thinkpad Yoga that I no longer use. I could see all of my Windows licenses that I had to choose from when I wanted to transfer. Watermark gone and all pro features available. It is amazing how well Parallels runs on a base M1 MBA.
Crazy because the latest qualcom phone chip beats the iphone chip in multicore on some phones and gpu and other benchmarks that are not apple favoring Geekbench.
So it's suprisung they don't just scale it up to more votes of course apple owns prores and other codecs and have special media engine chips not the CPU or GPU that actually do the heavy lifting in video.
The problem with going through virtualisation to windows in a Mac is that it is almost impossible to set up a CUDA environment and it is completely impossible to recognise and external NVIDIA GPU. The only way was to run windows natively using boot camp. This is the reason why I will not leave Intel architecture to move to M2 processors.
I’m sorry to bother your life but, I have a question, are you feeling me nvidia cannot be runned on the Mac with windows software?
Thank you for the answer x
@@isabelarodriguez6529 the problem is that going through virtualisation , windows on Mac does not see the nvidia card. In high Sierra and before Mac OS did have native support to nvdia, but this was finished. After this OS you need to start windows directly on boot camp to have access to nvdia cards. But now there is not boot camp anymore, so to run windows you need virtualisation software, and this way, nvidia cards are not accesible.
I have been using Windows 11 on my M2 Macbook Air, 16GB for a while now. And I found myself using ONLY Windows 11! For some reason I find Windows running much smoother than MacOS on my machine - even though it's a VM! Further, my VM Windows on Mac runs even faster than my Asus Windows laptop!
The M2 Max MBP just became the fastest ARM based laptop to run Windows 🤣(seriously... everyone competing in the SOC space should be embarrassed by this. It's doing it through a virtualization layer...).
I might need to buy a copy of this just for the rare times I need to use MS Office (yes, the Mac version exists - and it is terrible) or another "only/better on Windows" app.
In 2006 the MacBook Pro was the fastest Core Duo laptop running Windows XP so, I'm not shocked.
yeah i remmeber choosing between the 2 back in 2011. parallels was really breaking ground with performance at that time
Really because my 14 M2 pro can't do anything as smooth as my windows laptop can. I can't even run emulation on it so its going back to Apple they said I had 14 days to return it. Thing cost over 3k and it seems as powerful as a iPad.
@@Ervinnd You only geet a mac book if you want best battery life on a laptop and decent performance. But for maximum performance mac books are not good enough
@@Ervinnd what emulation are you doing and what model did you bought? If that is a based model then you can't expect more from it.
I got it running in VMWare (v13) on my M2 mini using the 9to5Mac article telling me how to install Parallels just to get Parallels to download the Windows 11 image. So, thanks, Parallels!
I’ve been using Windows on my M1 MBP running on Parallels for over a year now and find the process nearly seamless. I can actually take a document in windows, right click it and open in Word for Mac. This is by far the best virtual system I’ve ever used.
Still, given that I’ve been using it for a year, what exactly has changed that prompted Microsoft’s announcement? Weird.
How much ram do you have on your machine?
@@Speed_7545 16 gigs. It’s the standard 14”MBP.
So I like to have linux in a VM as I work with Linux every day. I have VMWare Fusion and Parallels on my M2 Max Macbook Pro and I thought both were hot garbage compared to my VMWare on Windows although for Linux, I did end up liking the VMWare Fusion better than Parallels. Parallels was super laggy and choppy graphics even with me giving it a dedicated 8GB of RAM, and I gave it an additional 8GB of Swap when I installed the OS. So I don't get it. But what was really annoying was things like Shift+Insert not working in the terminal for both just little things like that. So I ended up moving a lot of workloads over to native mac and using it's Terminal however, same thing.... The fucking command and ctrl keys... sometimes you use command for copy/paste and then say for reverse search you use ctrl. So all that was just confusing. I planned on the Mac being a workstation and workstation to go if needed but I moved back to my Windows desktop and really I just spent $3K for a portable laptop for video editing... really that's about all it's good for. Good battery life and not having to keep plugged in for video editing. That's all I can say for this mac. Even for gaming, I got GeForce now and tried to stream some games. The wifi is noticably shittier compared to my Samsung Galaxy Alpha Book 2. Man a lot of folks talked these computers up, and keep in mind I used to be an Apple fan boy back in the day, but now Linux/Windows are just more versitle. I really think people like Macs just for the Ecosystem iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, etc.
I ended up getting a very nice Mac mini set up huge monitor and just never ever liked the macOS operating system so what I found is that my Mac worked much better with windows even using Boot Camp than it ever did as a Mac with a macOS I’m sure many people who run windows on their Mac have found the same thing when it was incredibly fast on Mac compared to the macOS on the Mac so Mac, how long has a long way to go as far as I’m concerned up as far as being comparable to windows yes, they have their closed ecosystem but windows operating system always ran fast on my Mac
Intel based processor MacBook, not Apple Silicon SoC
Could your window stay on for like a month without shutting it down, and without it doing the annoying "restarting..this may take a while.. Please wait"?
Personal preference, I switched to MacOS over a decade ago and Windows doesn't even come close to it at all in my opinion. I prefer the MacOS every time over Windows, it's smoother, more stable, and faster. I have to use Windows every day, its clunky and full of bloat. Once you actually learn how to use MacOS it's so much more efficient.
Thnx man, that was very useful for me!
My jaw dropped at Continuity Mode. Such a simple UI change that makes a world of difference.
best way to use linux is buy a mac install windows then use windows subsystem for linux 😂😂
the final form of windows on arm 😂
Win11 arm64 is insanely fast on parallel, I get better effective performance on M2 MBA than on my 12700
As good as Parallels is, a virtual machine will never replace the native experience. Too many unnecessary abstraction layers always lead to a decreased performance which is unacceptable in itself. If this is truly the “official” way of running Windows on Macs now, this is officially one of the most terrible news in the coming months (years?) for the Mac community. Its sucks that they’ll never make regular drivers until Windows on ARM laptops keep up with the Macs. Running anything through a VM really is the best way to make it considerably slower and laggier. I guess, that’s what Microsoft wants for the Mac users. A software monopoly at its best, business as usual.
Compare the Geekbench scores in Windows/Linux VM on Apple Silicon vs. on bare metal Mac OS. The difference is literally non-existent
crossover is auctually better then parrells as for bootcamp not working on apple silicon that was microsoft and qualcom that was not upto apple if it was we would still have bootcamp that was and would be even better then any of this VM setups because you were running windows for real in the days of intel macs , the soloutions we have now will be and are more destructive to the mac systems.//
No. Not all apps are running, quite a lot of them do not run at all or very poorly. You also can’t use hardware like with virtualization, so if you need to use some USB devices you are out of luck.
Ie I’m using windows on a Mac to run government software to digitally sign tax forms. I need a usb reader for ID to sign, so I can’t use Crossover. Yeah, our government says I can run version for Mac or Linux too (they have it) but it’s mostly not working as I can’t see digital signatures on ID under Mac or Linux.
So I have to run windows.
I love parallels. I always try the free option, then the cheaper options and I tried EVERY SINGLE VM software I could find that works on m1
and parallels is simply so far ahead.
I currently only have the trial and instantly upon setup I realised parallels is soooooooooo much easier to use, plus the interface is faster as well
Parallels is easy to use though but it has issues with sound and mic drivers, tested in windows, Ubuntu & RHEL9
Just a slight correction, you state that in 2013 parallels wasn't a thing. That is not correct, parallels has been around since 2006, as far as I remember VMware fusion was released about a year later.
i meant it wasn’t a think i used. parallels was terrible back then, but seems like vmware and parallels switched roles in recent years
runs betters than on a PC? thats bullshit. if you have a comparable spec. windows machine (x64) it will run faster hands down.
Windows 11 ARM runs great with Parallels. Really easy to install and the network drive setup it does along with coherent modes it great. Def worth the $120 a year but def could be cheaper imo.
“Windows run better on a virtual machine ON A MAC!” This funny line just made my day ☀️
Use UTM and ARM64 Windows it’s running perfect on my M2 Air AND you can do auto spice drivers which pre installs the DRIVERS!!!
I would like to see some comparison benchmarks if it means something or just microsoft saying we support it officialy
lots of comparisons on my channel
Hi, I am struggling to use Power BI on my macbook pro (2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, version: 12.6.7 (21G651), macOS: Monterey). I watched the video and came to know that you are pretty happy with Parallels app for the similar purpose. However, you have mentioned that you use a macbook M1 or M1-max. Does it mean that parallels is not for other machines like mine? Appreciate your reply.
VMWare Fusion is free for personal use, but you have to package your own ISO from Windows Insider and pay for a Windows license to remove watermark.
It’s free, but VMWare Tools are still incomplete. The shared host/guest clipboard doesn’t work, and shared-file support is spotty.
Surely Google will have to release Chrome ARM64 Windows soon. The more people using ARM Windows, the better!
Parallels is far the best virtualization option for mac. UTM (QEMU frontend) is a REALLY good option for those who just want to run an Linux distribution too. But to run Windows, Parallels has no competitor
Parallel application is so large and takes up so much of your hard drive. I’ve used it and like the application but the memory it requires is a dealbreaker
I use iCloud for windows on a windows machine but i also use windows 11 on M1 and cant get icloud to sync calendar and contacts.... i can provide details if u can help....thank u
Opinions please!
Is it good for swift programming?
When can I play games on the MAC??
The only thing I don't like about it is that it is licensed for only one machine. I have it on my Mac Mini but if I want to use it on my Macbook I have to purchase another license.
i have license to 2 machines. hopefully they didn’t change this for pro accounts
My iMac is not supported by Apple. I could only update up to a point and it broke all of my Adobe stuff. I would like to build a PC that can virtually run whatever OS I like. Any ideas?
Great video. However the side-angle-cam is just too much and you lose perspective.
Wait I thought for a second running windows natively was now possible😔. Yeah parallels is fine for a lot of stuff but if you want to run Microsoft flight simulator not natively good luck and also you need more ram soo 😢. I don’t think MFS is ARM compatible so you have to translate all instruction in a virtual environment inside another full operating system so ja. Why don’t you just buy a windows PC? Well I have that now but I want to get rid of this and have just one device that does everything and i wanna have a laptop not desktop that is capable of running it with great battery life.
When AMD come to 3nm chip, then weight see excellent battery life or just close to m2
X-Plane is a good flight simulator, and I believe that there are versions of it available for Windows, macOS, and even 64-bit Linux/Intel PCs.
I also want to run MSFS on my Mac natively. Been using X-Plane 11 and 12 but getting kind of tired of the lack of support for Mac+XP by third party add-ons (flight trainers in particular). Also last I checked XP doesn't seem to care too much about supporting Metal FX upscaling, in which case why not try out MSFS when I can finally get it running natively and using graphics.
Oh, VMs. I was kinda hoping that meant Apple helping some more with a native dual boot.
Not that I'd like to run Windows. Instead it could allow Asahi Linux to integrate with iBoot even better.
But this really is a non-news. Apple M-series SoCs don't virtualize themselves, but a generic ARM CPU instead. No wonder that an ARM build of Windows can run there.
(I see that this comment comes off pretty harshly. I'm not really sure what I could alter to change that tho…)
I bought M2 MacBook Air 13" last February for the MacOS after having been with Windows for some time. I guess I'm one of those not that thrilled about Windows on Mac being official.
I have been saving money for about 2 year to get this computer but my income is to low but I except to have at the end of this year. Thanks for your videos I've learned a lot.
I would like do watch a youtuber using "TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 7" even in Trial mode on a Mac M1/M2...'cause there is no Mac version for this particular software and i guess it cannot use GPU Aceleration on Parallels or Crossover
Nice video, I’m a digital modeller, and need to use Autodesk Alias, can I run this on a virtual machine on perils?
Oh wow! That’s huge! Still be using my windows laptop. I ran Windows for years as a VM on Mac and It’s never the same thing.
Parallels is def a great experience, even on my 2015 MacBook Air
Well, it’s a start, but I hope they get to a Boot Camp ready version soon for Apple Silicon!
yes, this would be awesome. maybe one day
it's funny to hear that Windows officially supports uncommonly used processors whereas Intel before 8th generation isn't
What cameras are you filming with? And microphone?
Windows 11 in Parallels performs better than macOS installed on mac.
is it me or is there a ticking sound in the background, like a clock or something
damnit, who left that annoying clock in my office again?!!! 😠
Be nice to have something native like Bootcamp.
Nice video, thanks! btw new subscriber
Welcome!
Ok if people Want BootCamp Asistance Back to Mac Computers
Apple Should get rid off M1 Silicon Chip and Bring back Intel Proccesors but way Powerful *even better GPU*
so it Brings BootCamp Asistance Back and People can Install and DualBoot Windows and MacOS Back *with Windows 11 Support*
Edit: I Meant to say Rid off M1 Silicon Chip, not their M1 Silicon Products and keep them with Intel Core Proccesors
*like the iMac 24 Inch or the MacBook Pro with the Notch Camera*,
Parallels runs stuff well, BUT, any time Apple does an OS update, you have to buy a newer version of Parallels. NO THANKS! I got plenty of PCs available, if needed.
thats just sad they won't support native boot so you're still stuck buying parallels AND a windows license, spending a whopping 245$ in total to use windows 11 home edition on your mac...
Games are the only reason why would you even want to use WIndows :) And not because Windows is the best for gaming, but because they still hold monopoly. I have a highend PC only because of two sims that don't exist on the PS5.
Cool. Does the windows 11 hotspot function work on your macbook?
The title misguided me a little. I thought finally a native way to run windows again on a Mac like bootcamp. You should have mentioned in the title that you use parralells. Still no option for me.
Have you, or could you check if TIA Portal (Siemens) can be run on apple silicon?
I can't find any up to date info about it. It would helps a lot.
I'm going to change my 8 years old ThinkPad to a macbook m3 pro or to lenovo Yoga 9 2in1.
i tried to comment in here, I had to tap a pop up message telling me be "civil and respectful", and mentioned yt community guidelines, which is there automatically anyway, so why the reminder? I don't get this message from every channel, it seems to be from you, right? If so, what the heck "be civil and respectful" means? Is it your own, or you meant yt's?
I did not get one point: which part of this video is "the news"? Windows 11 on Parallels works already for long time...
i stated it in the first few seconds of the video
