arm64 ISO and VHDX images?

are there any distress that allow resolutions changes? I've installed ubuntu 20.10 server-> desktop but only get 1024x768 and parallels tools are not ready for arm64 yet.
 
I've got the Windows ARM insiders preview and I can't get the Windows Store to launch- it bounces and quits.
I can't find anything online, but it's happened on 2 separate installs. Thanks in advance!

The Store and quite some other UWP apps are 32-bit Arm. As such, they won't run on M1 for now. (see the release notes of this Parallels beta)

Thanks- I'm surprised Microsoft's Arm apps aren't 64 bit. It doesn't appear that they have a concept of a Universal Binary either- could be fun for users trying to decipher what's native or not.

Hi Nikolai,
It seems some ARM64 ISOs are crashing the app. I followed these stops for Debian net install and DVD iso with the ARM versions obvisouly but these crash during initial startup. Same with Manjaro ARM ISOs

I got the same initially, however, when I told Parallels it was an Ubuntu install, but still picked the debian-10.7.0-amr64-xfce-CD-1.iso it was able to boot and install

It's because those apps were inherited from Windows Phone/Windows 10 Mobile, which ran on 32-bit Arm processors.
 
I just tried installing the Windows insider edition virtual machine vhdx, and it's mostly working with one major exception -- the screen doesn't update until I resize the Parallels VM window, then it updates *once* at the *previous size* and doesn't update again until I next resize the window.

Managed to get software updates installed via Settings by carefully sizing the window a few pixels back and forth each time I clicked sometime, but this .... isn't really good. ;)

M1 MacBook Air; VM is configured with all the folder and app "sharing" stuff disabled, otherwise at defaults. I installed Parallels Tools within the VM from the menu. Doesn't make a difference whether set to Retina or Scaled mode.

I have a Thunderbolt 3 dock attached, but whether my external 4K DisplayPort monitor is switched in or not doesn't seem to make a difference. Laptop screen is set to "looks like 1280x800" (native resolution for the 2560x1600 display, *not* the default resolution that "looks like 1440x900").

Any ideas about the screen update issue on Windows 10? Thanks all, and enjoy the testing! :D
 
Setup of latest Debian alpha (debian-bullseye-DI-alpha3-arm64-netinst.iso) went fine on my M1 MBA, but the target system was not booting: starting the rescue system from the ISO and forcing a manual grub-install did the trick for me. Maybe it will also help somebody else around. Great performance & everything, nice work!

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.

You can download the Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview from here (you have to be signed up for the Windows Insider/beta testing Program)...

Also, you will need a valid product key to activate this copy of Windows 10.

Just a suggestion - since many seem to having such a problem with this how about someone at Parallels put out a video which walks through the process step by step with screen shots. While these directions may be sufficient for those with a little more technical capability involving Windows I think for a good of many of us they're not working. That's from all the posts listed in this thread. I have followed all these directions and it Virtual Machine window seems to load up, asks me for if it can access my contact but after that I am left with a blank Windows screen. Every time I "Quit" the Parallel Desktop App an/or the Windows icon on the bottom of my screen everything restarts again. Very frustrating TIA. The only way to shut it down is by force quitting. TIA

Replying to myself: issue is not with Parallels, but with CentOS & RHEL, which requires 64K pages, and it is not supported by the M1 yet. Fedora is good (4k pages).

Thanks for this tip - I was having the same issue so you saved me a lot of searching.

For the ISOs that are crashing - try removing the Sound & Camera option in VM Config > Hardware > Sound & Camera > click the - button underneath the row on the left. I was successful at loading Debian and OpenSUSE after removing Sound & Camera.

For Debian 10, removing this allowed me to do an install but it tells me there is no OS installed when I try to boot the VM.
 
I have tried this, I entered the activation key code but every drive it still says that no OS is installed. How do I fix it?
 
Hello,

I've tried to download the Windows 10 ARM64 built on the Insiders Preview link (I'm registered) but for some reason it doesn't work (I've been trying since last Friday..).
Any idea why or any other link to share?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, what should be done in order to install Parallels desktop 16 M1 Mac correctly?
It shows an error message 'no operating system installed'.
I've also selected 'macOS' as operating system ... did I have to choose for example windows 10 instead?
Where/how can I find and select the right image (vhdx or iso)?
Click to expand...
You need to install the operating system for the virtual machine Parallels is creating. If it's Windows, you need the ARM version of Windows 10 that you can download from Microsoft once you sign up for their insider program as explained by io_2000.
