    Paralells Desktop + ARM Windows on M1 Pro

    Running emulated Intel apps for my work on virtualised Insider ARM build of Windows. Am I going to have headaches, or will I be fine? I know people run Parallels just fine on 8GB Macs, so 16GB RAM should be plenty. Please share your experience with Parallels running on Apple silicon.
