There are other updates and improvements with Parallels 17 like currently, it’s now a universal app. Parallels will also let M1 users to use BitLocker and Secure Boot thanks to a virtualized TPM. Along with this, it comes with 2D graphics that makes it 25% faster and at least 6 times faster OpenGL performance that Parallels says will be coming to Windows VMs on all supported Macs, Intel and M1 alike. It is the latest version of Parallels and will improve the M1 Mac’s performance speed by at least 28% with DirectX 11 and at least 33% for using Windows 10 Arm Insider Preview VMs. Since the M1 must install Parallels to use Windows 11, they can get better performance if they have installed Parallels 16. In other words, while running Windows 11 on the Parallels emulator, the issues that exist in any other operating system on an Arm machine will continue to persist. Windows on Arm’s x86 emulation has always been slightly unstable and the 圆4 app emulation is still not a finished product. Therefore, you will only be able to emulate Arm-based operating systems and you will be limited to Windows on Arm. Even though it is possible to install a Windows 11 preview for Arm machines, you should remain cautious as the software can be too strong for Mac’s hardware. This issue has not been solved ever since Parallels added Apple Macs to the list of compatible machines. The only issue for M1 users is that you will only be able to emulate arm-based operating systems.

The software can also be used to run the Windows 11 preview.

The software, Parallels supports Macs with both the Intel and M1 microchips. The Parallels Desktop 17 will let Mac users use Microsoft’s next version of Windows through a window on their Apple Mac desktop. Windows 11 will be accessible on Macs, even without Boot Camp.
