Ever since Apple has stopped using the Intel chips – it has been hard for users to run Windows 11 on Mac devices. While there have been some dodgy methods of getting it do so, there has been no official solution to this problem. Heres how to run Windows 11 on Macs.
However, now, Parallels 18 can now run ARM versions of Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Enterprise on M1 and M2 Macs. This includes the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iMac and Mac Studio.
While the chosen version of Windows 11 will run in a virtual environment, the software doesn’t support nested or double virtualisation. This means that Windows Subsystem for Android and Windows Subsystem for Linux is not going to be included.
Preferably, the customer experience is to run 64-bit Arm apps, but customers could also use apps in x64 or x86 emulation on Mac M1/M2 computers. This means that people will not be able to run 32-bit apps. However, there won’t be many of these left because Windows is getting rid of them anyways.
