![]() I believe this will only work with a Windows 10 Pro license and not a Windows 10 Home or Business/Education license. In regards to licensing Windows 10 on ARM while using the Parallels Tech Preview, I used a license key I was previously using on a W10 VM from my older/replaced 2015 MBP, and it activated just fine. ![]() It doesn't really help that neither HomeBrew nor MacPorts is fully native yet. I also wanted to try PCem, but haven't managed a successful build yet. So far I haven't done any real testing with it. ![]() Originally I wanted to install Windows 2000, because that should be more efficient on QEMU, but that fails with an USB driver error for some reason.įor real legacy software I've installed Windows 98 on DOSBox-X, but it's really slow, because the ARM build is broken for some reason and I had to use the x86-64 build instead. Installing Windows XP using UTM took ages, and booting it takes probably two minutes (I stopped counting after about a minute). I've used PC emulation before (Virtual PC on a PowerMac G5 and the "Q" frontend to QEMU on a Mac Pro), but I've been somewhat spoilt by the speed of virtualisation on my old Mac Pro. But I'm not sure if there will be a legal way to get an official copy for QEMU to run, unless Microsoft suddenly starts selling retail copies of WOA.īut x86-64 emulation in QEMU is quite slow. I'm somewhat positive that Parallels might strike a deal with Microsoft to bundle a special build of Windows for ARM with their software. I'm actually surprised how early the Windows virtualisation has been tackled. I haven't tested this yet, but I'm pretty sure that Parallels is better for 3D acceleration if the guest extensions are installed.īoth are in early development, though, so expect some snags. It's probably a good idea to switch to "virtio-gpu" in ACVM as explained in the link above. Since both Parallels and QEMU have to use Apple's hypervisor the basic performance will be quite similar. Check if Windows is booted to normal mode successfully.As both the technical preview of Parallels as well as the insider preview of Windows 10 on ARM are currently available for free (and ACVM/QEMU is free anyway), I would recommend simply trying if ACVM fits your needs or if you need the additional features of Parallels. Right-click on Windows taskbar > select Task Manager > navigate to Startup tab > disable all 3rd-party software except Microsoft and Parallels publishers.Ĩ. Let me know if Windows cannot boot even to safe mode.ħ. Make sure Windows is booted to safe mode. Select 'Advanced options' > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > click 'Restart' > press '4' or F4 on keyboard.ĥ. ![]() Wait until Windows shows 'Automatic Repair' dialog. Repeat reset procedure 2-3 times until Windows shows 'Preparing Automatic Repair' (unfortunately, this is now the easiest way to get to safe mode).Ĥ. Start Windows 10 and right after go to Actions > Reset.ģ. Make a manual backup of the VM (if not enough room on Mac, take a snapshot via Actions > Take Snapshot).Ģ. I suggest the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:ġ. Windows is stuck at loading user space (autostart programs), what software exactly causes the issue we don't know: neither the dump nor technical report does not contain this information. We have analyzed the dumps, there are no issues with either Windows core or virtualization engine.
