However, I have done some research and found that Fusion isn't quite there yet with running Windows on an M1 chip. You like what machine type you like and I like what machine type I like.įourth, because of memory and space needs for utilizing SAS, I do need to it under a Windows VM and I have been using VM Fusion running some version of Windows OS (currently version 10), successfully for years (like nearly my entire career) and I work seamlessly between the VM and other apps running on the Mac. I will not go over to what I call the "dark side" and utilize some type of completely windows OS based machine. Third, I like a Mac and have been using one for nearly my entire career. Second, I work for a academic institution that has not (and I have no idea if they plan to) moved to SAS Viya and we are only licensed for SAS for Windows. So I am going to have to purchase a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip.įirst, I cannot utilize SAS ODA as many of my datasets are at least a TB in size and that would preclude being able to upload them. My institution is unable to purchase a MacBook Pro with an Intel chip (i9 specifically) that has adequate memory and space needs. My current machine (a MacBook Pro manufactured in 2017) is on the "unable to support" list now due to it's age and I need to get a new machine. I think answered some questions on this topic, but I thought the fastest way to get an answer would be on communities.

Click I accept to complete the process.Not quite sure where to post this so I chose Admin. Upon clicking it, you'll be presented with the Microsoft EULA. Once the installation process is over, you'll get the Installation Complete prompt. Windows will be downloaded and installed automatically. To install Windows 11, run Parallels Desktop, then click on the Parallels icon in the Mac menu bar > Control Center > + > Get Windows 11 from Microsoft > Continue > Install Windows. For more information on Windows 11 compatibility issues, check out KB 128796.

Therefore, if an application does not run in Windows 11, it is either likely due to some misconfiguration, or the issue could be due to an application not being compatible with ARM architecture.

However, Windows 11 should be fully compatible with all applications that Windows 10 is compatible with. And as a result, Windows 10 is no longer supported in Parallels Desktop on Mac computers with Apple M Chips. Note: Microsoft no longer provides support for Windows 10 ARM. For installing a macOS virtual machine, see KB 125561.For installing a Linux virtual machine, see KB 128445.To install a new virtual machine on a Mac with Apple M chip, you need to use an ARM-based installation image with a supported operating system.
