For more specifics, you can also find GrafвЂ™s detailed process here.Top: M1 Mac mini ARM Windows virtualization Geekbench scores, bottom: Surface Pro X scoresAs a refresher, hereвЂ™s the trouble with Windows officially running on Apple Silicon MacsвЂ¦AppleвЂ™s VP of software engineering Craig Federighi said that the ARM version of Windows 10 could run natively on Apple SiliconВ M1 Macs but was вЂњreally up to Microsoft.вЂќA little background of the pickle with Windows on M1 Macs is that MicrosoftвЂ™s current licensing doesnвЂ™t allowВ its ARM version of Windows 10 to be used by Apple (since itвЂ™s not preinstalled). Sure itвЂ™s not a desktop like the Mac mini, but you can get about the same performance from the $999 M1 MacBook Air, a closer competitor to the $999 Surface Pro X. How to run ARM Windows on M1 MacsYouTuber Martin Nobel shared a useful video of the process to run an ARM Windows virtualization on Apple Silicon as well as a real-world look at the overall impressive performance considering itвЂ™s an unofficial workaround.Impressively, the MartinвЂ™s M1 Mac mini benchmarked much higher than MicrosoftвЂ™s Surface Pro XвЂ¦almost doubling the single-core score, and coming in almost 2,000 higher in the multi-core score. He used the QEMU open source machine emulator and an Insider Preview of Windows.Now, based on the work by Graf, thereвЂ™s a new build of the open source ACVM launcher (by Khaos Tian and 3 others) that works with QEMU to run ARM Windows on ARM Macs. Alexander Graf was the first to successfully run an ARM Windows virtualization on an M1 Mac.

And Parallels just announced todayВ that it has a version of its Windows virtualization software in the works that has M1 compatibility.
