I already have Parallels Desktop 17 installed, and when I select New I get the Installation Assistant with the "About Macs with M1 Chip" window, but when I click Continue, the Create New window does not have an option to scroll the "Free Systems" bar to either side, so there is no option to Download MacOS. So how can I get that option??
I still don't understand this... The reason I would want to run macOS Monterey beta inside a Parallels VM is so I could test/check out Monterey BEFORE I install it onto my production machine. If you can't install Monterey in Parallels unless you're already running Monterey on the host M1 computer, you've already jumped the gun and committed to running Monterey as your operating system. Once your M1 Mac is running Monterey as its operating system, what's the point of using Parallels to install Monterey as a GUEST on a Monterey HOST?
Love the video. Is there any way to increase the VM HD size for Monterey? I need more storage allocated and I don’t see any way to increase the HD size for the VM.
Great introduction. I got two issues with Parallels Desktop 17. Host is macOS Monterey and in Parallels I have installed macOS Mojave for running some 32-bit programs. The mouse curser freezes all the time in Parallels OS. I have issues getting a full screen in Parallels macOS Mojave. Long shot if I get help here
Apologies if this was covered before - but can you take a parallels VM of Mac OS Big Sur and copy it onto an M1 Mac and run it from the M1 Mac? Also can you talk a little about the Ram utilization? Is this ok with 8Gb Unified Ram or do you have 16Gb
Hello zwstyles, great question! Unfortunately Big Sur can not be run in a VM on M1 as it does not include all the virtualization framework that was added to Monterey. Monterey and all future versions will be able to run in a VM. As far as ram, 4gb for the guest and 4gb for the Mac will run just fine for most testing tasks 👍
@@Mr.Macintosh thank you so much for the reply. My current Mac which is an i5 struggles with big sur in a vm running teams and outlook only. I am guessing based on your comment that the M1 is vastly improved from the 2019 two thunderbolt i5s. I did do some reading and realise you can restore a time machine backup into an M1 but that might mean some of your apps are not M1 optimised. Anyways will be getting my M1 tomorrow hoping all goes well. Thanks for the fantastic content and response.
I'm on Parallels v17 running Monterey on an M1 host with Monterey. In Parallels Control Center, I only see a power button, no cogwheel to configure the VM. Do you see the same experience? I'm wondering if this is a problem with my install or if it's by design -- that's a huge problem!
This is one of the first things that i tried. Sadly the answer is no, as only monterey beta 3 and newer has the correct framework to make it all work. I really wish that apple would backport the fixes.
Hello Chi Zhang. As of right now the controls are very light and you can only use the "Download macOS" function. Hopefully soon Parallels will let us pick custom IPSW files.
wait, for the app sharing thing why won't any of the apps you run on the vm monterey appear on the dock in your system? I mean eg if you run like system pref on the monterey normally it appears with 2 vertical lines on the dock right? or does this only applies to having a windows vm?
I tried to enroll the Parallels Mac in Intune, not working. I think it has to do with with the name it's presenting it self with: Apple Virtual Machine 1. Can that be changed? Or does someone have info regarding enrolling virtual Mac in Intune?! Thanks
I'm on Parallels v17 running Monterey on an M1 host with Monterey. I'm unable to get Mac system shortcuts e.g CMD+TAB to work on the VM, it will just send those commands to the host machine -- even in fullscreen mode and when I specifically enable it in the Parallels Desktop preferences. Are you able to get those working in the VM? If so, could you tell me how? Thanks very much.
I have Windows 11 running on the standard version. I installed Windows 10, and then upgraded it in the VM like I would any other PC. I had to do some of the tricks that are used to get around the new security "features" to get it to work. It was really easy though.
Answer will be the same like on question why people use VMs, to test out something, or separate certain tasks between host and virtual machine. it's nice to have every OS working since someone needs Linux VM, someone maybe wants Windows VM and someone needs in particular running VM with macOS for work/fun/project whatever.
Parallels Desktop 17 now supports a macOS Monterey in a Virtual Machine on M1 Macs! Let me know if you have any questions!
not working for me!! Don't show the option to download mac os....

It is the Monterey-ception
To make a sandbox for (exp) testing. It won't effect the main machine.
Excellent video
Thank you very much @NIkCan!!!
Nice vid! Since I couldn't see that option running Parallels Desktop 17 on Big Sur, I assume it's limited to Monterey?
Correct, this is a Monterey only feature on M1.

Is your host an M1 machine? If so, Parallels KB articles on the website itself says it only supports running a Monterey VM for an M1 Monterey system.

CMD+FN+TAB works in running Monterey, but it is not easy to use.

an update, FN+TAB and FN+SHIFT+TAB are the new ways to do with the Parallels v18 update
Unfortunately, you'd need the pro version for windows 11...
Ya, but at least Windows 10 ARM still can be run off of the standard license.
