If you are part of the Windows Insider beta testing program, you do have access to Arm builds, but you (possibly?) need an active running version of windows to access them, I think? There have been over 100,000 Mac addicts testing the Technical Preview of Parallels Desktop 16.5 for M1 Mac and running Microsoft’s Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview. I am trying to install Windows 10 arm on MacBook M1 Pro using Parallels. Please see the linked Reddit page for how that poster did it.

The fact an Insider Preview build actually can run on an M1 Apple device, within a Parallels VM, is likely unintentionally at this time. And I think it revealed the reason this support was so long in. A reboot resets it.Īt this time you can only get an actual Windows 10 On ARM license is if you own a device with a Microsoft SQ1, Microsoft SQ2, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx, or Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 processor. Microsoft revealed that it now supports running Windows 11 in a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop on Apple Silicon-based Macs. I come up activated but a couple of hours later I get a message that my Windows is unactivated. While it might appear that Windows on ARM activates with a Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional license users have reported that’s only temporary. Windows 10 for ARM is only sold with ARM devices with eligible processors. It is not possible to purchase a Windows 10 ARM license separately. Strictly speaking purchasing a version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional will not give you access to a license to Windows 10 on ARM. If I buy an OEM license for Windows 10 (home or professional?) will I be able to activate the Windows Insider programme to access the Windows ARM builds?
