Microsoft currently does not sell licenses of Windows 10 ARM for virtual machines.Windows is second priority behind Linux.We don’t plan to support installing or running x86 VMs on Macs with Apple silicon.

Development is moving along very well, meeting or exceeding our expectations, but there are challenges and much work still to do.

We will be delivering a Tech Preview of VMware Fusion for macOS on Apple silicon this year.

The quick readīefore we get right into it, I just want to summarize our position way up front with a quick tl dr: The AMD kernel is only built for 10.15.0 and you will break your virtual machine if you update it.It’s been a few months since our informal announcement via Twitter back in November where we committed to delivering VMware VMs on Apple silicon devices, so we wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about how our progress with our little project to bring Fusion to life on Apple silicon Macs this year. ICloud, iMessage, FaceTime & Siri will not work at all.ĭo not update you virtual machine. You will need to do some tweaking to the virtual machine, which you can find in the 'Post Installation Tweaks' page. The Mac App Store does work, but it will not work straightaway. That means that apps like Final Cut Pro will not work at all on this.

Things like the Launchpad will be extremely laggy, the Dock will be opaque and the virtual machine will not have multiple monitor support. You can use CPU-Z to check these if you're not sure.ĭue to VMware's graphics acceleration not being compatible with macOS, you will not have any graphics acceleration in your virtual machine. If you have an older CPU, again you should double check. Your CPU also needs to support the SSE4.1 instruction set in order to run macOS Sierra and newer. Modern CPUs will definitely support this, but if you have an older CPU, you may want to double check. Make sure that Virtualization/AMD-V is supported by your CPU and is enabled in your BIOS. Modern CPUs = Anything made from 2010 and onwards I see that you want to make a macOS VM in VMware on your AMD CPU but have no idea how or you need a macOS virtual machine.
