[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1905158, member: 24098"] I wasn't entirely satisfied with the performance of UTM and downloaded the Mac AppStore version of Parallels. All I can say is "WOW", Parallels has come a very long way since the last time I used it. It's really fast on the M1 and the downloading of Windows 11 was entirely seamless, as was activation. I installed a few Steam games just to test the x86 emulation and vGPU support... again, holy moly, it's fast AND playable even at Retina resolutions. It's $79/year on subscription, but I think it's impressive enough that I will keep it for a while. I'm just dumbfounded at how well everything works - it's clear Parallels has put a ton of effort into making this the best option for ARM-based Windows. [/QUOTE]
