Since Windows ARM64 is already capable of running Intel-based x86 applications, once this was up and running on his M1 Mac, Graf was able to load up some standard Windows apps, noting that while they didnвЂ™t run as fast as x86 Mac apps would run under AppleвЂ™s own Rosetta 2 framework, they were pretty close.

While Graf hasnвЂ™t yet been able to actually run Windows for ARM fully natively on an M1 Mac as an independent operating system, he was able to use the open-source QEMU virtualizer - an app that essentially works along the same lines as Parallels or VMware Fusion -В to run a full installation of Windows ARM64 under macOS Big Sur. #QEMU patches for reference: /G1Usx4TcvL- Alexander Graf November 26, 2020 Who said Windows wouldn't run well on #AppleSilicon? It's pretty snappy here рџЃ.

As things stand right now, Microsoft only offers up the ARM-based version of its operating system for its own Surface tablets and other specific OEMs that develop integrated systems based on QualcommвЂ™s ARM chips.Д®arlier this month, however, AppleвЂ™s SVP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, made it clear that AppleвЂ™s Silicon вЂњhas the core technologiesвЂќ to run the ARM version of Windows, and the Macs вЂњare certainly very capable of it,вЂќ and now at least one developer has set out to prove that FederighiвЂ™s comments arenвЂ™t just posturing on AppleвЂ™s part.ДЄs shared by The 8-Bit and MacRumors, developer Alexander Graf has successfully managed to virtualize the Windows version fo ARM on an M1 Apple Silicon MacBook, demonstrating that itвЂ™s totally possible to run a full native Windows environment on AppleвЂ™s newest hardware.

However itвЂ™s looking more and more like the problem is going to come down to a legal technicality that amounts to whether Microsoft is willing to license Windows for ARM in such a way that it could be used on ARM-based Macs. While it remains unclear whether Windows support will ever officially arrive for AppleвЂ™s M1 Macs, thereвЂ™s no reason that the hardware canвЂ™t support the ARM-based version of Windows, and Apple has already pointedly put the responsibility for that on MicrosoftвЂ™s shoulders, and Microsoft is being non-committal at best right now.

On the other hand, the Intel Mac mini can support up to 64GB of RAM, and the Intel MacBook Pro models can handle up to 32GB. To be clear, there are also still other advantages to purchasing one of AppleвЂ™s Intel MacBooks or the Intel Mac mini right now AppleвЂ™s M1 models all cap out at 2TB SSDs and 16GB RAM, and none offer more than two Thunderbolt / USB ports. While the new ARM-based Apple Silicon is now found in all of the current MacBook Air models, however, at least MacBook Pro and Mac mini customers can still decide whether to purchase an M1 version or the older tried-and-true Intel variants. Instead we will continue to invest in the current shipping versions, and will extend their support periods until December 2022, with new updates starting in October.So itвЂ™s understandably been a point of concern for some Mac users whether to take the plunge into AppleвЂ™s newest M1 chip. We also wanted to take the opportunity, since weвЂ™re so close to VMworld which has a bit of a different schedule this year, is to let folks know that we wonвЂ™t be releasing a вЂњpaid upgradeвЂќ for either Fusion or Workstation this year as we often have.

Join the Tech Preview Community Fusion and Workstation Fall Release Update WeвЂ™re going to be keeping the Public Tech Preview active for at least the rest of this year and likely into spring, and so we wonвЂ™t be pulling in these changes into our fall release, which means Fusion on Apple silicon is effectively FREE for all users for the time being. The scope and scale of this undertaking should not be understated, and the success of this project has been the result of a massive ongoing collaboration from many internal teams working together, entirely remotely as we do in this day in age. To deliver Fusion for Apple Silicon devices weвЂ™ve had to re-evaluate every part of the Fusion technology stack. With more than a year in development, and a few weeks of a successful Private Tech Preview, itвЂ™s finally time for us to show the world what weвЂ™ve been working on. It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the public availability of VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon Public Tech Preview!
