    Is Parallels a no-go? I am literally one paycheck away from buying a M3 MBP but if Parallels is nonfunctional on Apple silicon I have to reconsider.

      Parallels works but only with Windows 11 ARM. Which means no 64bit x86 programs. 32bit ones however can run on ARM

      I’m using Parallels in a M2 MBP. There are some limitations (DirectX being a big one) but I’m running x64 software using Windows on ARM emulation in Windows 11 which I didn’t expect to be able to do.

      Parallels works great. VMWare launched a version of Fusion recently that works well (and has an easy install similar to Parallels for Windows ARM).

      I run Windows 11 under Parallels in an M1 Mac Studio all day every day. I run primarily Microsoft Office with it and Chrome. No issues.
