Windows 10 64-bit on a Intel Mac?

MarkS67 · Nov 3, 2021

I was informed that you cannot install Windows 10 64-bit using Parallels 17 on an Intel i5 core based Mac. Only the X86 32-bit version. Does this make sense? Anybody had any success doing this? Is there an earlier Parallels version that allows this? I hate to lose the added features of the 17 version.

If you reread my message the referenced page does not address the issue. If you follow that process it will ask for an .iso image and only the 32-bit option is presented. It will not load a 64-bit version of Windows 10, which is the big issue for me.
