Parallels Desktop 16.5 released with native Apple Silicon support
I am running Windows ARM on an Apple Silicon Mac Mini. It's ... interesting. Even Microsoft's own software development tool Visual Studio says it is not compatible with Windows ARM. However the OS does run but is noticeably slow doing some fairly basic tasks. It is so early in development that when there is an update, a lot of the time you have to re-install the entire OS to get it to work otherwise you get a cryptic error code. A VM is the only way to use the OS currently as reinstalling it is fairly painless that way.
To be fair, this mess is not Parallels fault. They have done what they can. Now it is up to Microsoft to fully support ARM including the special instructions Apple built into Apple Silicon that speed performance of x86 emulation which are used in Rosetta. Microsoft is not moving fast enough to develop Windows ARM. There have been only a few updates in the past six months and none of them made any noticeable difference in the performance. Hopefully Microsoft wakes up soon and realizes that they will lose the game if they don't fully support ARM. -
