– Resolved the issue with ARM-based Linux ISO images being recognized as Intel-based ones. – Compatible Linux installation images are now automatically detected in the Installation Assistant.

The Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac with support for M1 processors now includes : Enables you to run the latest Microsoft Windows operating system on your Mac for testing across multiple operating systems and also creating virtual machines capable of running Linux, Windows and applications. There are two ways to do this: (a) Use the “New…” command on the Parallels Desktop menu, or (b) click on the “+” at the top of the Parallels Desktop Control Center window.Mac M1 system owners patiently waiting for the ability to run Windows on their Mac machines, may be interested to know that Parallels has today released a new Technical Preview 2 version the testing. Open the Wizard for the creation of a new virtual machine. Once you have this version of Parallels Desktop installed, to get the latest release of the Windows 10 Technical Preview, here’s what you need to do: 1. This is a free update for Parallels Desktop 10 users. Just “Check for Updates…” in the Parallels Desktop menu. To take advantage of this work by the Parallels engineering team, you will need the latest build of Parallels Desktop, version 10.1.4, build 28883 (or a later release). (Okay, it’s five button pushes, but most are just “Continue”.)

Sometimes, however, installing a new OS in a virtual machine can be quite challenging, especially if the OS is internally structured in a significantly new way.įor Parallels Desktop users who want to install the latest release of the currently-being-developed Windows 10, the Parallels Desktop engineering team has already done all the work of installing this new OS in a virtual machine, and have packaged it in a way that literally makes this essentially a one-button-push experience. And, of course, I do the installation and testing in a virtual machine-it’s the easiest and safest way to “play” with an early release OS. I do this for both Apple and Windows OSes, and I hope that the feedback improves that OS in its final release. I admit it: I enjoy using early releases of new operating systems and providing feedback to their development teams.

Update: Microsoft has stopped providing the PC version of the Windows 10 Insider Preview builds as per the official Microsoft site. You can reserve your copy of Window 10 if you have a fully licensed copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.
