Vmware fusion m1 windows2/24/2023 ![]() ![]() An impressive achievement, especially on a MacBook Air! Progress in Linux virtualization is going well, and Michael Roy said early builds of the M1 VMware Fusion software could run 7 VMs at once. ![]() VMware should run Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview Builds for virtualization, but Microsoft doesn’t allow people to run Insider Previews on unlicensed Windows devices.įor now, VMware will focus on virtualizing Linux operating systems for Apple Silicone. ![]() VMwareīut what about Windows 10 on ARM, the version of Windows designed specifically for ARM-based systems like the Surface Pro X and the M1 Mac? Roy says Windows 10 is off the table on ARM virtualization because of Microsoft’s complicated licensing. A debug build of VMware Fusion with 7 VMs on an M1 MacBook Air. He argues that while x86 emulation is possible, there “isn’t really much business value in relation to the technical effort required, at least for now.” Without x86 support, VMware Fusion does not support the standard version of Windows 10 on Apple Silicon devices. Michael Roy, VMware’s Product Line Manager, explains in a blog post that VMware Fusion does not support x86 virtualization. The bad news is that it doesn’t support Windows 10 or Windows 10 on ARM. The good news is that VMware Fusion will be released on M1 this year as a Public Tech Preview. This replaces the need to do full-VM encryption.Mac, VMware is giving fans a detailed look at the progress of the development. vmx file and open it in TextEdit and add the line above to end of the file and save it. Go the Virtual Machine folder on your MacBook and rightclick the VM, select 'Show Package Contents' vmx config file and restart Fusion: toAddVTPM="software" To use this experimental device, just add the following to the Windows 11. VMware is also shipping a currently-experimental vTPM device that boasts a reduced performance impact by employing a new encryption model, as well as several new options for managing Fusion and Workstation installations at scale. NOTE: There is another, experimental way to achieve the same goal and potentially with better performance. Once installation is complete, reboot your VM for the changes to take effect.Īfter the reboot, the installation of Ubuntu (the default distribution used by WSL) continuesĮt voilà! MacOS running VMware Fusion running Windows 11 running Hyper-v running Ubuntu Linux In Windows Terminal (you are in the Windows Powershell shell by default) type To install WSL, right click the start button and select 'Windows Terminal (Admin)' After the wizard finishes you need to restart the VM.Īfter the reboot you can enjoy a more appropriate resolution. Click on 'Virtual Machine' -> 'Install VMware Tools'ĭoubleclick 'setup64' to install VMware Tools and run through the installation wizard. Once you are done with setup you can install VMware Tools to add to relevant drivers to Windows 11. If you are happy with your settings go ahead and boot the VM and follow the Windows installation steps. Now you can change the amount of virtual CPU and Memory that is allocated to the VM, you can also opt to enable hypervisor applications in the VM if you want to make use of WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which uses Hyper-V to run a Linux distribution on Windows 11. You do this by selecting 'Advanced'Ĭlick the 'Disable Side Channel Mitigations' checkbox Optionally you can disable side channel mitigations to improve the performance (but obviously lower its security posture) of the VM. Select 'Trusted Platform Module' and click 'Add.'Īcknowledge the information pane and click on 'Show All' You can do this by going back to all settings and clicking ' Add Device.' on the top right Next we need to add a Trusted Platform Module as that is a prerequisite for Windows 11. Next click on 'Encryption' and enter a password of your choice Instead of selecting Finish, go ahead and click Customize Settings if you want to change the name of the VM or the location of the files, if not, click Finish. Select UEFI and optionally UEFI Secure Boot Next we run Fusion and create a new VM using the "install from disc or image" option. Follow the steps below to avoid the dreaded "this machine is not compatible with Windows 11" message because a (v)TPM is missing by default.įirst step is to acquire an ISO image which you can find here: I needed a Windows 11 VM to do some testing and since I currently don't have any Windows hardware anymore I decided to use VMware Fusion on my (intel) mac instead. ![]()
