#Parallels17 #TechTroublemaker
In this tutorial this video is about installing Parallels and Windows 11 on M1 Mac. Specifically it is installing Parallels 17 and Windows 11 on M1 Mac. Parallels 17 is the latest version of Parallels and it allows you to finally run Windows on an M1 Mac. Because of the processors on the M1 Mac, you have to run the ARM version of Windows. For this demo, we downloaded Windows 11 (ARM version) from the Microsoft Windows Insider Program, which is a free program you can join. See links below”
