Parallels tech preview for M1

[badsimian]

Deleted and tried exact same procedure again and this time it worked...random/timing issue I guess. It is beta...

Tried. Windows worked ok. My Arm64 Ubuntu 20.04 server it thought it was intel version.

Let the VM reboot after the blue screen of death, it worked fine the second or third time for me.

Is the internet slow for anyone in the Windows 10 VM?

oh nice I was wondering did you manage to get a release build of windows 10 arm, instead of a insider build to work?

I am now on the dev preview and now installing the 21277.1000 preview to get x64 emulation...

Very Very Buggy. The only way I can get Mouse support in Windows is to install Parallels Tools (again) and refuse to reboot. Have to do it every time I restart windows.

yep same problem here.

performance is nice tho, as well as full resolution and usb pass through

I'll have to give this a try tonight.

Let's have patience, this one is still very green.

Has anyone found a way to just virtualize an instance of MacOS? Would be nice to have a segregated OS install for work.

Geekbench report from inside Parallels VM with default settings on M1 MacBook Pro 16GB Ram: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/5385616

Worth noting - in Mac OS activity monitor, CPU didn't spike above 9% usage

Great single core performance!

The emulation in the latest ARM Windows insider preview works quite well, I am running Chaos Reborn on Steam ad it runs great.

What settings / process did you follow? I cannot get a VM to boot at all for Debian ISO

I think I'd have to agree.
It's a start

The coherent mode works well and we are having full retina support.

 

[Susurs]

Has anyone succeeded with this (setting Parallels hypervosor in settings)? Restart does not help. Extensions are allowed.

I don't know about performance(yet), but we do have DirectX acceleration

Well wow. installed Parallels. then arm64 windows ..then office365...just worked
Tried opening a couple of BIG excel sheets. that used to bog down my X1 Carbon 7th gen ... and just like under BigSur with Native Arm Excel ... it just sings.

So lets see a VM .... then an emulator (Windows) then 32bit Excel ... and its still faster for "Work" than my X1 ... and never went above 14% CPU .... Intel No More ..

so just have to figure away to get this insider build activated so the I can get rid of all those painful parts of windows 10 ... or Parallels should strike a bundle deal with Microsoft .. cause there are still a few BIG differences with Excel that I still need a Win10 box for

I got it all installed and working, but the screen freezes up, as in the clock doesn’t move on the bottom right. If i resize the entire VM window, i see the updated time. Does anyone else have a similar issue? It was working fine, i tested printing Etc and then the freeze started. Tried restarting VM and mac. No Luck.

EDIT: reinstalling parallels tools helped.

I had the exact same problem, and I have to reinstall parallels tools as well.
Looks like the automatic install on first boot has some problems.
I have to reinstall the tools on every boot to make it work now, and I don't know why.

I think you will find that you have to reinstall Tools every time you start the VM

Interestingly The current Build of Windows won't let me install Office 64 bit. Says I can't run 64 bit apps. I thought that they said that this build was the first one to have support for 64 bit. But it does not seem like it.

I sent that to parallels.
