It appears that Parallels is actively working on developing a version of virtualization software compatible with Macs based on the Apple Silicon M1 chip.
Parallels posted an article on November 10 (local time) called Parallels Desktop for Mac with Apple M1 chip. He praised the Apple M1 chip for the performance, power efficiency and virtualization capabilities it brought to the Mac, while also saying that its latest version of its virtualization software, Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac, cannot run virtual machines. .
However, the Mac version with the M1 chip has made great strides since the announcement of Apple’s silicon at WWDC at the developer conference in June. Universal Binary So both the Intel version and the Apple Silicon version optimize the conversion virtualization code, including binaries. In addition, they are expressing their willingness to try new apps for the M1 version of the MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
He also said he was surprised that Microsoft announced that it will soon add support for x86 apps on the ARM version of Windows 10. This company, which is deliberately emphasizing the unexpected, may be suggesting that it is proceeding with development independent of Microsoft.
The published article did not specifically predict that the Windows 10 virtual machine will move on the Apple Silicon Mac. However, Parallels has a track record of recreating virtualization software from scratch even after the support for third-party kernel extensions ceased in macOS Big Sur.
Even if Parallels solves the technical problem, in order to run the Windows 10 virtual machine on a Mac, the end user must obtain a license from Microsoft. It is essential to change the existing policy that Microsoft will license only OEMs if it is the ARM version of Windows 10. Related information can be found here .
