Mac computers and MacBook laptops equipped with Apple M1 processors have the high efficiency and energy saving of the ARM architecture. At the same time, they can also run iOS programs. Unfortunately, it is not possible to run Windows programs directly through Bootcamp. Those Mac users who must use the Windows environment to work can only wait for Parallel Desktop to support Windows as an emulator.
The technical preview version of Parallel Desktop 16 that supports the M1 processor has finally been launched a few days ago. Users can download and try it first through the Technical Preview Program, and report bugs or other conditions to the developer before the program is officially launched. It is known that Parallel Desktop 16 technology preview version cannot sleep and wake up, nor can it use the window button to close the emulator. Shut down within the emulator.
Although the technical preview version of Parallel Desktop 16 has been launched, it only supports the ARM version of Windows 10, which is not available to general consumers. Therefore, users have to run Windows programs on Macs or MacBooks with M1 processors that have yet to be resolved.
