Basically, if you’re looking to run a virtualized version of Windows on your M1, you’ll still have to deal with the same caveats that would come with running Windows on any other Arm machines. Windows on Arm’s x86 emulation has been a bit of a rocky road, and the 圆4 app emulation is still a work in progress.
While it does seem possible to install a Windows 11 preview for Arm machines, you’ll probably want to proceed with caution. The catch for M1 users is the same as when Parallels first added support for Apple’s latest machines - you’ll only be able to emulate Arm-based operating systems, which means you’ll be limited to Windows on Arm. Doesn’t work on Parallels because of the anticheat, doesn’t work on Crossover because it only supports Steam, doesn’t work on Mac OS because of the Apple-Epic dispute so sad to break it to you but no, as of right now, Fortnite isn’t completely supported on M1 Macs. Parallels supports both Intel and M1 Macs (though there’s a catch for those running Arm-based machines), and can even be used to run the Windows 11 preview for those who can’t wait. Parallels Desktop 17 will allow Mac users to experience Microsoft’s next version of Windows in a window on their Mac desktop. Windows 11 is coming to Macs, even those without Boot Camp.
