  • Microsoft has thrown its weight behind running Windows 11 Arm on Macs.
  • The company says Parallels 18 for Desktop is an “authorized solution.”
  • This doesn’t change much, as this solution has been around for a while.

It’s possible to run Arm versions of Windows on your Apple Silicon-equipped Mac computer via the Parallels virtualization software, but it’s not exactly a simple process. Fortunately, Microsoft has quietly thrown its weight behind this method for Windows 11 Arm.

Microsoft published a support document on its website, calling the Parallels 18 for Desktop software an “authorized solution” for running Windows 11 Arm flavors on M1 and M2 series Macs. So what does that mean, then? Well, it seems to be business as usual here, as this version of the software has been around since last year.
