Parallels - Virtualize Windows 10 64bit?

[WiiDSmoker]

I swear i still can’t get a definitive answer. Can Parallels virtualize Windows 10 64 bit on the new M1
Processors??

Not worried about gaming.

Yes it does. I have it running on my M1 Max now. Win 10 ARM64

Yes, but only the ARM version, not the "normal" version of Windows.

Like others said you can run Windows 10 and also 11 under parallels but the arm version which you can get for free by joining the insider program. You can then run x86 apps ok the Windows Arm version as there is translation layer for both 32 bit and 64bit application similar to how Rosetta 2 works.

95% of apps should work fine.

The licensing situation is unclear because you can't buy a Windows 10/11 ARM license.

You can get the release version of Windows 11 ARM without joining the Insider Program using uupdump.net to get an ISO from Microsoft. I did this on my M1 MBA and it is activated using a license on my Microsoft account. I receive all the regular Windows 11 updates.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but if anyone could tell me. Does Metatrader 4 works on Win11 ARM via Parallels?

Thanks
