PARALLELS DESKTOP APPLE SILICON WINDOWS 10

Installing Windows 10 for Arm still relies on the Windows Insider preview, but the installer will detect the VHDX file downloaded from Microsoft, which still speeds up the process quite a bit. For those who just want to use a Linux guest, the installation wizard includes direct download buttons for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Kali Linux.

Parallels has also improved the guest setup process in version 16.5. We can confirm that's been corrected in later technical previews, and the desktop and browser are both very smooth in today's release. At the time, however, the system wasn't very usable without video drivers. Not only did the four-core VM outrun a Snapdragon 8cx in single- and multi-threaded Geekbench, it also more than doubled up performance in Speedometer when using the native version of Edge. Supported guests include Windows 10's Insider Preview for Arm 64 and multiple Linux distributions.Дuring the preview period, we discovered that the Arm version of Windows ran pretty well, even when the guest OS is limited to just 4 GB of RAM and four CPU of the M1's eight CPU cores. That includes support for the 2020 Mac mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro which all bear the Apple Silicon M1 processor. After a lengthy technical preview, Parallels has officially released Parallels Desktop version 16.5 which includes official support for Apple's latest Macs.
