Parallels no longer offers an automatic option to download and install Windows 10 for ARM because Microsoft has discontinued support for Windows 10 ARM it to concentrate on Windows 11 ARM. You may therefore find that some games or software simply don’t work or experience lag after installing Windows for ARM on an M1 or M2 Mac. The problem with Windows for ARM is that many programs and applications either work slowly in it or don’t work with it at all.Īs a general rule, if the application you want to run is available in the Microsoft Store, then it probably runs on Windows for ARM.Īlthough Windows for ARM can run most software that the Intel x86 version of Windows can (thanks to something called x86 emulation in Windows for ARM), it doesn’t always work with all programs or games. Since Apple Silicon is based on an ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) chip, Parallels can only run the “Windows for ARM” version of Windows not the standard Intel version that’s installed on most computers. There are a few catches to be aware of though when installing Windows with Parallels on an Apple Silicon M1 or M2 Mac. Windows ARM on M1 & M2 Macs: Before You Start The latest version of Parallels 18 runs Windows incredibly well on a Mac and there’s very little difference in performance nowadays even compared to running Windows on a PC. We think that Parallels is better than using Apple Boot Camp anyway because it conveniently allows you to switch between macOS and Windows at the same time whereas Boot Camp doesn’t. So since Boot Camp doesn’t work with the M1 chip, Parallels is therefore the best way to install Windows on an M1 or M2 Mac in 2023. This means you can’t dual boot in Windows or macOS on an M1 or M2 Mac like you can on Intel Macs. If you search for Boot Camp on an M1 or M2 Mac, you won’t find it because Apple has not made an Apple Silicon chip compatible version of Boot Camp for M1/M2 Macs. You can’t use Boot Camp on M1 & M2 Macs because Boot Camp does not work with the Apple Silicon chip.
