I will, however, go through an overview of how this works though so you have context for my discovery in going through his steps.

He tells you what to download, how to configure it, and which buttons to push to make it go, all with screenshots to make sure itвЂ™s clear what heвЂ™s telling you to do. IвЂ™m not going to go through the installation in detail, because Steve Sande does a fabulous job of it. LetвЂ™s Do This! UTM Gallery of OS Virtual Machines Of course, thatвЂ™s all the motivation I needed to proceed.

This makes this a fun experiment, possibly a colossal waste of time, and when IвЂ™m done IвЂ™ll have something I donвЂ™t need. As I mentioned before, Windows on ARM isnвЂ™t really supported to do this, and even if I succeed, apps would have to be compiled for 64-bit ARM to run on it.

I found an article by Steve Sande on the OWC blog where he walks through the steps to configure UTM on an M1 Mac, and install Windows on ARM for free, legitimately. The value that UTM brings to QEMU is that itвЂ™s a graphical user interface not requiring a plethora of command line options and flags, so the learning curve is much more gentle.

Under the hood of UTM is QEMU, a decades-old, free and open source emulation software that is widely used and actively maintained. Sadly, it requires you to jailbreak your iOS device so I declined that opportunity but running this on macOS Big Sur sounded like good fun. And then I discovered an open source virtual machine app I hadnвЂ™t heard of called UTM which runs on M1 and even on iOS. I did a bit of poking around looking into what virtual machine software runs on the M1s and discovered that VirtualBox from Oracle and the commercial software VMware Fusion do not, but Parallels Desktop does. When I asked him about this limitation of the M1 he said he didnвЂ™t see it as an issue (not sure why) but that he hadnвЂ™t yet looked into whether the open source virtual machine software VirtualBox would run on the M1, at least to run a Linux distribution (or distro as the cool kids say.) He has touted the Mac as the best platform because he can run macOS, Linux, and Windows all on one piece of hardware. KnightwiseвЂ™s mantra is вЂњmaking technology work for youвЂќ and the center of that is being a slider who can use the best tool for the job, rather than being fanatically attached to one companyвЂ™s technology (like some people we know). I was actually surprised that in KnightwiseвЂ™s recording about how much value heвЂ™s getting from his M1 MacBook Air, he never mentioned that as a downside. To update, just select вЂCheck for UpdatesвЂ™ in the VMware Fusion menu in the Menu Bar.I talked on the show a while back about how the one downside to an M1 Mac is that you canвЂ™t run Windows, or at least not without a lot of faffing about. More and more distributions now shipping Open VM Tools and Linux 5.14 kernel to deliver a happy user experience right out of the box. This replaces the need to do full-VM encryption, which we expect users to notice a happy performance increase for use cases that require a VTPMДЇor Fusion on Apple silicon, we continue to support our Public Tech Preview which lets users run Linux and BSD aarch64 operating systems with incredible performance, and weвЂ™ll continue do so into the new year. To use this experimental device, just add the following to your Windows 11 (or whatever). WeвЂ™re also shipping a currently-experimental vTPM device that boasts a reduced performance impact by employing a new encryption model, as well as several new options for managing Fusion and Workstation installations at scale. Users can expect that on Intel Macs Windows 11 will work with VMware Tools 11.3.5 support, and currently passes the compatibility checks when appropriate configuration is applied to meet the minimum W11 requirements.

While we are not delivering a вЂњproperвЂќ Windows 11 Guest OS type in this release, we have added to the Windows 10 Guest OS type (Now вЂњWindows 10 and LaterвЂќ) which provide a smooth transition to Windows 11 for existing users as well as supporting new installations from ISO.

WeвЂ™ve been testing and have made some early minor enhancements to prepare for a more official Windows 11 support rollout in the near future. Include features, bugfixes and security enhancements. Player to December 2022, meaning we will continue to provide updates which
