x86 guest

Hi, Can parallel emulate an x86 processor running ubuntu amd64 or osx mac silicon? I want to run custom programs that are precompield for x64 and aren't availble for arm ... thanks! Dan

Mageia is a community-driven project, which has its origins in Mandriva and Mandrake Linux, one of the big classical rpm-based distros of the past. It indeed has an arm64/aarch64 version, but it's still experimental and without an installer or live media; so, instead, I tried the ordinary x86_64...

Hi All, I was thinking I might install TrueNAS as a VM to play around with before committing to getting hardware for it. I understand trueNAS is x86 based and not native ARM. I'm running an M1 Max Mac Studio and I've set the VM I'm attempting to install TrueNAS in as "use rosetta to run...

Title is the question. I have an old windows XP pvm image last run under version 14 that I would like to access on a new mac with apple A4 silicon. I get the attached error message when I attempt to open the pvm: Error message appears backwards in that I have the latest version running. I...

I have read some stuff on the web that suggests it may be possible to run x86_64 versions of macOS in a Parallels guest on Apple silicon (e.g. M4). Is that doable? If so how - do I just DL the ipsw file and let rip or is there (much) more to it than that? Thanks D.

Can anyone explain why Parallels has a problem with Windows and the Apple M Chip and programs like UTM don't?

Just wondering if anyone had tried running windows x86 on Apple Silicon? I have some legacy code that will work only on x86 windows. If yes, what version of Parallel you use and how?

Hi. I have a Win 10 x86 VM from my trusty old 2012 intel Macbook Pro. I've recently acquired a new-used 2023 M3 Max Macbook Pro. Can I migrate the x86 image, using the new experimental emulation mode, then install Win11 ARM over the top of it, and thereafter switch to virtualization? I'd like...

I have a use case for which I need to build an app targeting an Intel-based MacOS arch. I have an Apple laptop with an M3 Max chip. Is it possible to run MacOS 14.x VM (Intel-based) on my laptop? I have a pro license.

I have some software that cannot run on ARM Windows and need to install X86_64 bit system on the MACBOOK of the M chip. This feature has been available since version 20.2 last month, but it is not complete and slow. Is there any further optimization now? When is the expected release date for the...

I have a Parallels Debian Gnu Linux VM running on a Intel Mac mini. I switched to a Mac mini M4 pro Apple Silicon and would like to run my old Debian Gnu Linux VM there. How can I migrate it? Thanks for your help, Heiko

Dear Parallels Desktop Support Team, I have been successfully running Beckhoff's TwinCAT 3 XAE software on my previous MacBook Pro equipped with an Intel i7 processor, using Parallels Desktop 16 and Windows 10. However, my new MacBook Pro is powered by an M4 processor. I suspect that the...

For software development I sometimes need to develop software older MacOS (or even OSX) versions, like 10.12 for example. Recently I learned to brute way that this is nor possible as such. Similar for older versions of Windows 7 and 10. It seems that Dekstop 20 does not accepted to start or...
