"While it is a little early, and things on Apple silicon don't always behave like we're used to on Intel, we're thrilled to be able to share the work we've been doing to prepare support for Windows 11 virtual machines on Fusion, for both Intel and Apple silicon Macs."Īlong with Windows 11 support on Apple Silicon machines, the new tech preview also includes VMtools installation for Windows 11 on M1, improved Linux support on M1, 3D Graphics HW Acceleration and OpenGL 4.3 in Linux VMs, and more. VMWare says that it's looking for user feedback as it "irons out kinks" and prepares for more formal support later in 2022. The latest update to VMWare Fusion is now available to test out as a free technology preview on the company's website. mpack Site Moderator Posts: 37288 Joined: 4.Although ARM versions of Windows itself aren't available on Macs with M1 or M2 chips, users will be able to download and use Windows 11 on Apple Silicon Macs using the VMWare Fusion virtualization software. If it's a simulator then those pictures don't tell you how long it took to get to that desktop, assuming the screenshot is simply fabricated. First, there are ARM builds of Windows, or x86 builds of their hypervisor, so those pictures could come from that. So while some of the alternatives might talk about Intel code on M1, they are talking about CPU simulation, which is fine for debugging, otherwise it's a toy.Īnd a strong beware of the sales blurb showing pretty pictures of a Windows 10 or 11 desktop. VirtualBox is not a CPU SIMULATOR, as that is a different animal entirely with much worse performance and most likely errors in detail that prevents a complex OS from running. This means that while the hardware is virtual, code runs directly on the host CPU at full speed, the host CPU therefore must be x86.
VirtualBox is a hypervisor, as all of the practical alternatives are too. I will add that, as far as is known, the VirtualBox alternatives will not please you either, assuming your goal is to run x86 Windows or Linux code on a Mac in the manner you may be used to. See the sticky at the top of the this forum.
