Parallels Desktop for Mac computers with Apple silicon M3 chips

You didn't mention, but I take it you either migrated the old computer or used a Time Machine backup.

 

I keep getting a popup about ParallelsMD

 

You need to remove the old Parallels, uninstall is best, and reinstall with a fresh copy of v19.2.1.

 

The plan looks good!

 

Some of you are lucky, for me the Parallels with the software I am using (Rhinoceros 8) is absolutely not functionning.
If I had knew before, I would have bought a Windows laptop, because results are awful. simply awful.

 

There is a demo version of CrossOver that you could try for free. I've not had much luck in general with CrossOver, but a few things have run on it really well that were not compatible with Parallels.

 

Hi all- I was using a Windows 11 VM with no known issues just last week. Now, today (when I really need it), I am unable to use the trackpad or keyboard in my Windows VM. Mouse/keyboard are fine natively on the Mac and in a Kali Linux VM.
So far I've checked to make sure that Parallels Desktop and the Parallels tools have full disk access (they do) and played with the keyboard/mouse game settings (I'm not looking to game on here, it's for work). I've also reinstalled the tools several times.
The Mac is an M3 MacBook Pro running OSX Sonoma (14.6.1). I really need to get this running so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Hi.
Can I use Win10 on Mac Pro M3 chip?
If I install Win10 amd installation failed.
Maybe I should use old versions Parallels? Unfortunately Win11 not supported applications which I use for work

 

You have to install the ARM version of Windows. I am not sure if they still make a Windows 10 ARM version.

Windows 11 is pretty much Windows 10 with a few added features. It has compatibility mode to even run many apps from Windows 8, 7 and even 3.1.

I suspect the application that you can't run requires an Intel chip. Windows ARM runs many Windows Intel apps using emulation, but it is not perfect and does not run every app. Some apps (like Microsoft Flight Simulator) give an error that your CPU is not supported, other apps simply don't run.
