![]() You can even manage it without paying a single penny thanks to VirtualBox, but the truth is, if you're serious about running Windows apps on your Mac, then Parallels Desktop is the tool to choose. Or even ask the developers of the apps you intend to run on Windows in a VM on Apple Silicon.they may not support you at all if there are any issues.something to consider if you are paying for new apps.These days, running Windows on your Mac is pretty straightforward thanks to virtualisation software. Maybe another more knowledgeable contributor will be able to provide some answers to these and your other questions, but if not, then you may want to check the gaming and 3D modeling communities regarding these questions and any other options where there may be a native macOS app which may provide a better experience. Have you ever used 3D modeling software in a VM even on an Intel system? I'm not sure I would expect a good experience. I'm not sure about the 3D modeling, but remember the DirectX and OpenGL limitations which will affect 3D modeling software as well. I find running games on an OS installed on bare metal is not always a good experience so a VM gaming experience will be even worse. ![]() Personally I would never expect a good gaming experience when using a VM unless it is a very simple game not requiring much in the way of system resources. ![]() Here is a Microsoft article with some more details and a further list of limitations: Plus some games may be 32 bit,so that is something else you will need to confirm since 32 bit apps are not supported either. Second, DirectX 12 and OpenGL 3.4+ are not supported, so this will rule out most recent games. Of course you can do whatever you want, but discussing it here beyond what is currently posted may cause your post to be edited or deleted.perhaps even the entire thread, unless it is to post confirmation that the Home edition is legal to use in this manner which would require a link to an official Microsoft article as proof. I have no idea if the Home edition will work, but even if it technically does work, it may not be legal to use it that way.you need to look at the Windows 11 Home license or contact Microsoft for confirmation. I honestly cannot answer most of your questions, but I can tell you that Microsoft did just recently announce they support running Windows 11 ARM edition within a Parallels VM on an Apple Silicon Mac, but there are limitations.įirst only the Pro and Enterprise versions are officially supported. Do you think 4 CPU cores won't be enough? Please note, I don't need extreme power however I do plan in the future to play some games maybe, and make 3D modeling and design. However, regarding CPU cores, mine has 12 (8-performance, 4-efficiency), thus I could use 6 CPU cores for the VM but the standard version of Parallels won't allow me that. I don't think 8 GB will be a limiting factor as my MacBook has 16 GB and AFAIK, it is recommended to use half of that for the virtual machine. The standard version only allow you to use 4 CPU cores and 8 GB of vRAM. ![]() The only meaningful difference for me is the number of CPUs it can use.
