Mac M2 + Parallels 18 + Windows 10

I have software that I need to run on Windows 10. I've tried everything and nothing works. I even tried installing mac os13 virtually inside of parallels and it still won't let me install windows 10 because of silicone This is getting very frustrating, and of course parallels phone tech support doesn't even exist.

 

As I understand it, Microsoft doesn't make a Windows 10 version for the M2 chip, only Intel. But if your software requires Win10, it *might* work with Windows 11, which Parallels will install when you set up the Virtual Machine.

 

Keep in mind that even if you get Win10 installed, you may not be able to run your software due to quirks related to the multiple layers of translation from x86 to ARM. This is something that people often don't understand when they look at system requirements for software.

 

just download an ARM iso of W10 from UUPdump....
