m1 chip

Parallels on macOS silicon is very flakey and so far, poorly implemented for macOS Guest OS. For example, there is no CONFIGURATION, SNAPSHOT, CLONE options working which severely limits the product. In such an environment, HOW DO I START A macOS MONTEREY VM in Recovery Mode. Clearly I cannot...

There is an announcement from Apple Monday (10/18). Though we don't seem to know the full details, the guess is that some new MacBook Pro's will be released with Apple's chips (vs. Intel). When I have purchased new Mac's in the past, I used an Apple conversion routine that automatically...

I've been unable to login with an Apple ID in the Big Sur guest that is offered at Parallels install time. The error is the same for my normal Apple ID and one newly created from within the guest OS. Logging into iCloud from System Preferences generates a 'Verification error'. All generic stuff...

From what i saw around the m1 stuff, the device does not support egpus by drivers, not hardware, my question is - Can Parallels detect/use an egpu at all on the M1 chip machines?

Yes, no? Would 16.5 run Mojave and an application that is not 64bit in an M1 machine with Big Sur? Also, has someone tried this with the Monterey Beta releases? Thanks a lot and sorry if this has been answered before. I wrote to Support a few days back and no answer yet.

Hi All, I'm still on Intel Macs and PD15. I'm really worried about upgrading my hardware to an M1 because I have tons of x86 VMs that I rely on (listed below). I am wondering if this would work on an M1 Mac: Create a Big Sur VM with PD16. Ensure Rosetta2 is installed within the Big Sur VM...

I am trying to install a Virtual PC running Windows 10 on my new MacBook Air with an M1 chip. I have successfully installed Parallels 16.5.0. I have also joined the Microsoft Insider programme to download the Arm 64 version of Windows 10 (build 21354), which is up and running (this was using...

Thank you in advance for any guidance. Has anyone had any issues installing any Windows applications on the M1 Mac? I was successfully able to install some Windows apps without any issues (ex. Notepad++, Microsoft Sql Studio Manager), but cannot install the VPN software our company uses (Pulse...

I have several clients running Windows 10 in virtual machines on Intel-based Macs -- just to run Windows versions of Quickbooks and/or Quicken. Some of these clients are ready for new Macs and want M1 models but I'm not recommending them yet until I confirm QB & Quicken (latest versions, 2021)...

I put a fresh copy of Parallels on a new M1 Air. I downloaded and installed the M1 preview build, which is Win 10 pro. How do I activate it? If I buy Win 10 pro, does that come with an activation key that I can enter? As it is it's pretty useless because I can't "personalize" or customize...

I'm a stubborn macOS Mojave user and I don't want to give up my ability to run 32-bit apps. I understand that macOS Catalina uninstalls the 32-bit drivers, that all Mac computers from late 2019 onward came with Catalina by default, and that Parallels for Mac has previously been able to install a...

Hello, We are interested in using Parallels to test our application on Internet Explorer 11. Our developer MacBooks have the M1 chip. Does anyone know whether the Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview comes with IE11? Thanks, Luke
