Install Parallels Desktop 11 on Mac OS X (current release version).
PARALLELS UPDATE TO WINDOWS 10 LICENSE KEY
This means anytime you rebuild your machine, you no longer need to track down your license key because as long as you have an internet connection, you will automatically be activated. When you receive this upgrade, you do not receive a license key per se, instead, they log your machine details into your associated MS account.
PARALLELS UPDATE TO WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE
If you are not familiar (or have been living under a rock for past month), MS released Windows 10 with a bonus offer of anyone with a valid (maybe pirated but that has been going back and forth for sometime) Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 license gets a free upgrade to equal version of Windows 10. Installation: CLEAN install after activation of Windows 10 associated to my MS account.Licensing: Free Upgrade from MS from Windows 8.1.
PARALLELS UPDATE TO WINDOWS 10 PRO
Windows OS: Windows 10 Pro (latest RELEASED updates, no beta builds).
Mac OS: Current RELEASED version (not Public Beta), sorry, don’t know exact version, to be honest I am a Windows user. Machine: MacBook Air, late 2013 model, with all bells and whistles (i7, 8gb ram, 13″ screen). Problem Statementĭeploying Parallels Desktop v11 in conjunction with existing Windows 10 (Pro in this case) that was free upgrade from Microsoft results in deactivation of Windows with no option to reactivate (dead license key). In the meantime, I wanted to share my experience so others can use caution if they are in same boat as me. I have not personally tried this yet, so I cannot promise truth behind this, plan to try at a later date.īefore I start, let clarify that I am already in touch with Parallels support on Twitter and they are reviewing the case (thanks Parallels Support team!).

You can download the Parallel Desktop to run Windows 10 on your M1 MacBook using this link.ĭo you find this update useful? Have you been waiting to run Windows apps on your M1 Mac? Drop a comment and let us know! Though you can install the Insider Preview version of Windows 10 on ARM on your M1 Mac which also brings support for emulating 圆4 apps. Microsoft doesn’t license the ARM version of Windows 10 to users right now, so there’s no way of installing the stable build right now. Apple M1’s integrated GPU appears to be 60% faster than AMD’s Radeon Pro 555X discrete graphics processor in DirectX 11 applications when running Windows using the Parallels Desktop 16.5. M1 Mac running Parallels Desktop 16.5 and Windows 10 Arm performs 30% better in Geekbench 5 than a MacBookPro with Intel Core i9-8950HK in the same conditions. M1 Mac running Parallels Desktop 16.5 and Windows 10 Arm consumes 2.5 times less energy than a 2020 Intel-based MacBook Air. So don’t really expect the performance to be top-notch right away.Ĭorel says its latest update also results in some impressive performance and battery improvements overrunning the software on Intel-based Macs: Microsoft says that Windows 10 on ARM will soon be able to emulate 圆4 apps.īut even when the support comes, it will be your M1 Mac first emulating Windows operating system, and then that Windows 10 on ARM operating system emulating 圆4 apps. The version of Windows 10 the Parallels Desktop runs is Windows 10 on ARM, which in itself lacks support for a lot of Windows apps. You can now run the Windows apps on your M1 MacBooks, side by side with Mac or iOS apps on Big Sur. PARALLELS UPDATE TO WINDOWS 10 FULL
Parallels Desktop has been updated to version 16.5 which brings full virtualization support to MacBooks running both Intel and Apple’s own M1 processors. Now, thanks to an update to Parallels Desktop, you can finally install Windows 10 on your M1 Macs. The ARM-based Macs do not support running Windows 10 via Boot Camp. Even though the MacBooks have impressed the masses in almost all of the scenarios, it has failed to perform on one front.
Apple announced its custom ARM-based M1 Mac mini and M1 MacBooks last year.
