In the GIF below, you view the process of installing Parallels onto a M1 based MacBook Pro computer. Although, Sage 50 CA software will not be tested and officially supported on Windows 11 until the 2023 version Windows 11 was used with the Sage 50 CA 2022 version of the software for the purpose of our test.Īdditional information on the M1 experience may be found in this article. The new Parallels 17 officially lets you run Windows 11 on your Mac.

Software that provides hardware virtualization for intel based processors on MACs recently saw the release of Parallels 17, designed to allow M1-based MACs to run Windows-based software. STEP 1: Installing Parallels onto an M1 MacBook Pro Incredibly impressive compared to virtual machine (VM) setup back in 2016. The internet connection download speed was 631Mbps which allowed the total set up process to take just over 30 minutes which included research time. Below, you'll find a breakdown of getting Sage 50 CA version 2022 to work on an M1 MacBook Pro from late 2020 which was setup by installing Parallels version 17 to run Windows 11. Virtualization software mimics the hardware of a PC which enables MACs to run PC-based software like Sage 50. Over the next weeks, we'll review some of the most popular options for virtual Microsoft Windows Systems. I'd recommend using the default settings, and if for some reason that's not enough, you can tinker with it later.Its' been some time since our 2016 blog on how to get Sage 50 to work on a MAC. Apple's unified memory and M1 chipset are so good that with the default 4GB of RAM, Windows 10 ran fine on my Mac. It's all a very straightforward process, right? While I browsed the different settings for VM resources, I didn't adjust any myself. In any case, you're good to go with Windows 10 on your Apple M1 Mac. Now, Windows on ARM actually pulls down the 圆4 app (no, they're not ARM64, as that would make too much sense) and it runs in emulation. These apps were quite literally made for Windows phones.īut Apple Silicon doesn't support 32-bit ARM apps, simply because there haven't been 32-bit ARM apps in the Apple ecosystem in ages. This isn't even about legacy support, as there's never been a 32-bit Windows on ARM PC. That's because this 64-bit ARM version of Windows 10 ships with 32-bit ARM versions of its built-in apps. Up until fairly recently, these apps just didn't work. One thing to take note of is that pretty much every Windows 10 built-in app is going to tell you that it's updating before you can open it.
