I also have parallels (they tout it is M1 compatible -do not believe them, it's not) and many of the fanboys say running MS Windows arm is fine, for me it isn't and it will not run many of the applications I need to run on standard Windows. The long answer is VMWare Fusion is very pre-release, buggy and only uses the ARM versions of Windows. Regardless, the short answer to your question is YES. The experience on both is pretty damned good.
VMWARE FUSION PRO MAC M1 SOFTWARE
This will allow you to run the Virtual software from VMWare (FUSION) and Parallels. If you are a mainstream user wanting macOS and Windows VMs, do NOT use the silicon version of Apple macOS. Advantages there are that Windows can be accessed from Macs, Linux, Phones, Tablets, etc. To be honest, it might be time for businesses to look at either virtual desktops or Microsoft's Windows 365 "Windows in the cloud" service. But I'm not concerned about their current CEO - according to his bio he is a long-time VMware employee and has been responsible for many things in his career there including product strategy, planning, and engineering execution.Īs far as "Microsoft says that Windows running on an M1 Mac is not a supported scenario and won't be", both VMware and Microsoft appear to be saying "never say never". Yes VMware was spun off from Dell (which IMO is a very, very good thing), and Pat Gelsinger decided to move on. I don't know what the "Losing their CEO" has to do with it. I'm concerned that it's taken so long, as they are faced with the same dilemma in supporting Macs as Parallels has due to Apple's decision to stop using Intel. But if you're dependent on the Mac as a fancier platform to run Windows, well, Apple cut the mooring lines on that ship and it's currently drifting without power in the middle of the ocean. It appears that VMware's vision of where Fusion (and Workstation) fit into their overall product strategy is vastly different than what Parallels' is. Us mere mortals don't have NDAs with them where they might speak openly about their plans. On top of that MSFT has already said that windows running on an M1 Mac either virtual or otherwise is not a supported scenario and won’t be.Īs far as "lack of direction", well, we have no idea on what VMware is doing behind the scenes. VMware had plenty of notice and time for the Apple Silicon transition that it’s crazy they are still in a tech demo. Losing their CEO must have hurt though, not updating their tech beta since Sept 2021 is a good indication of a lack of direction. The same slower approach you are praising is putting them behind. with a lot of our Mac fleet moving to M1, VMWare is less and less appealing. Hmmm.Am aware, the only reason we use VMWare at my org is because it’s enterprise and we get a deal on it. We are still faced with the icky issue that Microsoft will not support this and seems to pretend it does not really exist while clearly building for it and turning profit from it. So I agree the toy is quite usable from the competitor.
VMWARE FUSION PRO MAC M1 UPGRADE
Arguably to get to my Microsoft 365 Business Premium account I need to upgrade my edition to Pro, then the instance is "full power." The Windows Home instance is not activated, but its quite accommodating to old activation keys. Now that I know what an "legit" retail ARM64 ISO looks like from Microsoft I can poke around my various Microsoft accounts and see it is tucked away somewhere.
VMWARE FUSION PRO MAC M1 PC
So I ran the PC Health Check app on my new Windows 11 installation - and sure enough it told me I did not meet Windows 11 system requirements as the processor (Apple Silicon) isn't currently supported for Windows 11.
VMWARE FUSION PRO MAC M1 INSTALL
They download the Retail ISO for Windows 11 from Microsoft and install it while you watch! They leave the ISO in your downloads folder too so will be interesting to see if it works with the Fusion preview rather than all that uucp vcdx stuff?!? So yes Microsoft is building and providing an Retail copy of Windows ARM and just not talking about it - or supporting it?!? Ridiculous. but I still question why Microsoft can't be clear about this?"Īs Private Gomer used to say "Surprise Surprise Surprise" - The competition no longer signs you up for Windows Insider.
