I did. If I use the ISO image I get the problem described in my post. If I use the VHDX when I reset the VM it gets stuck in an endless "Resetting..." loop.

Has anyone successfully installed Big Sur in the M1 tech preview?

Hello,
Yes, indeed, at the momen a manual installation is required (otherwise the images are incorrectly detected as x86). To perform it, please follow the steps below:

1. Open Parallels Desktop. Click New > Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file > Continue > Choose Manually > Continue without a source > Continue > Ok > Continue > Create.

2. Open the virtual machine's Configuration: click Parallels icon || > Control Center > right click on the virtual machine > Configure.

3. Click Hardware > CD/DVD > Source and browse to the installation .iso

4. Switch back to the virtual machine's Window and in the top menu click Actions > Reset.

5. Virtual machine shall boot from the installation image and let you proceed with installing the OS.

Hi Nicolas
Follow your instructions, but then I try to reset, button is grey. I download Win10_20H2_v2_Slovenian_x64 and no way to install. Any suggestion where I make mistake?
Thanks and NG Iztok, Slovenia

Don't use the ISO, it's x86/x64, not ARM I found out. Must download the VHDX and launch. Parallels beta will see it and install.

Where can you find VHXD image?

 

[ShayneeR]

Here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewARM64 (You need to register for the Insider program first.)

I get an error trying to register. Is this the only way to install Windows on the M1 Macs?

I am in this exact same predicament. I am on a chat with Microsoft. If I find anything out, I will post here. Been working on this for three days now trying to get Parallels running with my new Macbook Pro...

About step #3
I cannot source to the installation .iso
It's not even listed.

Is there a version out where all this is done automatically?

 

[DaleK2]

I use uupdump.net to create arm64 based iso's and it has yet to fail me, just use brew to install the components (ignore the ssl errors as it still works)

I cannot get this to work.

I'm on the "M1" version supposedly, I've followed what you said above - I set up a blank (continue without a source), right clicked the virtual machine and clicked configure, then on CD/DVD I added the source to be the Windows 10 64bit download .iso from windows file, I then click actions > reset & it comes up saying "there is no operating system installed in this virtual machine."

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?!

Any pointers to arm64 ISO or VHDX images to try?

I downloaded ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-arm64.iso (https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm), but Parallels tells me:
The specified image cannot be used because your Mac is equipped with the Apple M1 chip that doesn't support Intel-based operating systems.
Please use an ISO or VHDX image file with an ARM-based operating system.

I was able to get it installed by manually creating a VM and attaching the .iso.

Has anyone had success with other images?

 

[AdamL12]

I was able to get the arm64 VHDX to install by following the directions at 9 to 5 mac on my M1 MacBook Pro.
https://9to5mac.com/2020/12/22/run-windows-10-arm-m1-mac-apple-silicon-x64-x86-no-boot-camp-video/
However, I had to completely uninstall my previous version, and then the only way to get the VHDX file to start up, was to drag and drop it on the installer as noted in the video. Otherwise, it would not install even when I navigated to the same file.

So far M1 Parallels is useless for the typical user. They need some reasonable installation methods. If you follow their instructions it appears you must have Windows Pro installed before you can install Windows ARM. How can that be?

 

[RichardS45]

Many many thanks. Very easy. It appears to have worked. I did not install Ubuntu Linux, only Windows 10.

Hi everyone,

I used to BETA version for M1 Mac air. Last Parallels update my activation key is not working yet. after upgrade parallels ask me previous version key of parallels but I can't find activation key for beta version. screen shot is below.

 

[RichardS45]

I sgn into Parallels account and manage licenses there; it is pretty easy.
