Just consider that some are not comfortable with that position.

VMWARE FUSION PRO 12 M1 WINDOWS

If y ou need Windows on M1 Macs and if you’re comfortable with Parallels being your “insurance policy” then Parallels is probably the product/solution for you at this time. That’s why in real life we have insurance policies. Microsoft might help you out if something breaks on Apple Silicon, but it’s at their discretion.īecause of this, the follow on question becomes “how much risk are you willing to take” and that answer is not the same for everyone. Indications are (through Microsoft public statements and the lack of Apple Silicon on the Windows compatible chipset list) that it isn’t Microsoft. The lingering question about Windows on M1 is “if something goes wrong, who will fix it”. To many of us, a solution not only has to work but has to have an avenue for help if needed. It works better under Parallels because Parallels has a released product and has tools/drivers that makes the experience “as expected”. I don’t think there’s any question on if or how well Windows works on M1 Macs. The fact that we haven't had a second drop of the preview makes me wonder (and hope) if that's exactly what's happening. I still have hope that the Qualcomm exclusive rumor is right and we're just waiting out the clock. That's the only thing that really matters. The simple fact is that Microsoft has told VMWare they can't do it, and until they tell VMWare that it's cool, VMWare won't build support for it. Craig flat out said 'it's up to microsoft' in an interview after the M1 was released, and VMWare is keenly aware of the interest.

I'm sure that if there were an intended path to legally run Windows on Mac both Apple and VMWare would have shared it (both have high level relationships with Microsoft - far higher than a front-line license person quoted in that blog).

I'm unable to find a retail license for Windows 11 anywhere for purchase, let alone a standalone retail license for Windows 11 on ARM, so I strongly suspect that agent was using boilerplate language and didn't actually understand the question. Nothing prevents someone from putting unleaded in a diesel engine, but that doesn't mean that it's a valid fuel. That's the important nuance: activated does not necessarily mean properly licensed. Agreed they do not warn you about that when they collect your money for the retail license key. In terms of warnings Microsoft will warn you that the Windows instance is unsupported if you run their checking tool in the ARM virtual machine. You thus can activate a retail license on the Windows ARM virtual machine. Also you have noticed there is no unique EULA in the Windows ARM. This takes us back to the recent blog post where a Microsoft employee says Retail licenses will activate on anything.

The worries about support are a moot point because the combination is not licensable per the terms even if it activates. You cannot license an M1 Mac for Windows - this is the whole discussion around the fact that Microsoft only licenses and sells Windows ARM to OEMs - so you thus cannot volume license a virtual machine on an M1 Mac. If all permitted Virtual OSEs are used Customer may use the Physical OSE only to host and manage the Virtual OSEs.

Licensed Users may run Windows software acquired through a volume licensing agreement on up to four Virtual OSEs locally on devices licensed with a Qualifying Operating System. This local use right applies to VDA Per Device licenses only if the Licensed Device is also licensed with a Qualifying Operating System. " Customer may run Windows software acquired through a volume licensing agreement on up to four Virtual OSEs locally on Licensed Devices. We are not trying to license Windows on M1 Macs, we are trying to license Windows running in a VM which happens to run on an M1 Mac. Realistically we have been discussing this the wrong way for a long time.

If they actually let you install volume licenses (handled by a KMS server)." I am glad you touched on volume licenses. "What worries me is that there still don't seem to exist any explicit disclaimers from Microsoft.
