Windows 11 on Arm

Yes, with Apple it is always clear if your Mac is able to run the latest OS or not. Something MS can't do because they don't have their own hardware (except Surface models).

Anyway, the update worked for me without a problem. Do you have the PCHealthCheck app still installed? Try removing that before running Windows Update.

I am glad you got it working. So far it seems to be working on my x86 VM. I don't know why it is complaining for me. I'll keep looking.
 
Also working for me :) I was already an Insider running a dev build on the M1 - sadly for anyone new, you can't join now as it doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Hopefully Parallels will fix this sooner rather than later.

I may have been one of the unfortunate ones to have clicked installed a bit early. It magically worked this time. May be the <10 min builds had a flaw :rolleyes:
 
For those who can't change the Insider channel - I got it to work by changing with regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
BranchName = Dev

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\UI\Selection
UIBranch = Dev

Restart and check for updates :)
 
On my M1 MacBook Air, there was a TPM error. Tried again the second time and it just proceeded and installed just fine. So far so good!
 
Unfortunately after a fresh download of the VHDX and Parallels 16.5, it's giving me the same Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements message much like in the TPM thread. I'll be looking for any updates from Microsoft and/or Parallels for fixes.
 
Windows 11 update was available to me this morning. I was surprised as when I checked the day before under the Windows Insider settings it said my system did not meet the minimum standard for Windows 11. Well anyway I pressed the install button this morning (after I created a backup image), and the install worked perfectly. Parallels tools installed fine, reboots were quick, system seems snappy and responsive. Coherence works well (moved task bar to left and shrunk dock). Office 365 opens, store opens etc. A lot better experience when compared to the 6 months ago when the M1 was first introduced.
 
I had the 8% problem too and I found a very... Cryptic workaround haha.
I downloaded the latest Windows 11 insider preview from UUPDUMP, let the download script do its magic.
Then I extracted the ISO and copied it over to the C:/ drive in my existing windows 10 on ARM installation.
Then I followed this video:
And finally, I opened setup.exe and it just worked !

Thanks for sharing this! Previously I also got the error at 8%. Inspired by that YouTube video I tried just closing the automatic installer triggered by Windows Update when it gave the error, then followed the instructions in the video and copied in the patched DLL file. Then I went back to Windows Update, told it to 'Fix Issues' and it looks to be installing fine! (Currently at 41%)
