VMware Fusion, QEMU, and other virtual machines don’t offer a way to get Windows for Arm (though they can run it), and these VMs appear to be still unauthorized. Microsoft does not sell Windows for Arm as a standalone product, but you can download and install Windows 11 directly through Parallels. Microsoft’s announcement specifically names Parallels as an authorized solution. The authorization is a big deal because it means that in business environments, Parallels and Windows on Arm can be deployed, and users can get support if they run into problems. However, a number of worrying known issues still remain, including bugchecks for some Surface Pro X (Microsoft's own Arm-based flagship) users and ongoing problems with disappearing taskbars and non-functional Start Menus.However, on Thursday Microsoft announced through a support document that Parallels Desktop 18 is now “authorized” to run Arm versions of Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Enterprise on M1 and M2 Macs. Start or Please Stop? Power users mourn features lost in Windows 11 'simplification'īuild 22000.184, aimed at Beta Channel and commercial PCs in the Release Preview Channel, was relatively light on changes, as one would hope with the release date for Windows 11 now less than a month away (although we still hold out hope that some of the more egregious user interface changes might yet be softened.).Microsoft does and doesn't want you to know it won't stop you manually installing Windows 11 on older PCs.
Windows 11 will roll out from October 5 as Microsoft hypes new hardware.Don't like the new Windows 11 Start or Taskbar? Don't worry – Microsoft's got your back.The company has also sought to make amends for last week's Insider release, which left some users with severely borked taskbars and Start Menus (stemming from what Microsoft delicately termed a "server-side deployment") with new builds. Away from the world of unsupported scenarios, Microsoft has churned out a new 60-second spot featuring the wonders of Windows 11, although strangely this does not include a shot of a customer having to drop a substantial amount of cash on new hardware having found Windows turning its nose up at their existing kit.
