If this helps, give this comment a like, if not then reply to this comment I'll help you.
I see only "Applications (Parallels)" I dont see anything labeled "Library" when I expose hidden folders
You're the best
Thanks a lot man
your amazing man
thanks a lot bro worked for me
Way to go Jeff! That was awesome. Your instructions were flawless! Thanks so much my friend!!!😁
Thank you for the video. I bought the standard license for Parallels for my Macmini M2 pro, and I've been loving it.
Wow...how would anyone know this without such an amazing explanation! Thank you so much!
Tried SO many different videos about UTM and other VM's, this was the only one that actually worked and allowed me to download it and finally get Power BI on my MacBook. Thanks!
Thanks, Jeff - very helpful. Only issues I had were my own, wanting to put spaces in some of the cmd lines. Appreciate it!
Nice tutorial… I wish all tutorial videos where straight to the point and as eloquent as this.
Beautiful video. Spent literal months trying to download windows on my mac. Through thousands of methods this is the only one that works. Cheers mate.
great video and awesome tutorial!
switched to mac because got sick of windows, but hey, there are great options 😀
Very cool! Thanks for posting these instructions. I ran VMWare previously and this works out perfect for me.
Great video. Great to have you back Jeff.
Thanks for the detailed process! Awesome video!
Brilliant solution! It could have come a day earlier and then I wouldn't have to suffer with Homebrew and Windows Insider. Thanks for this solution! :)
I have no use for this, but did it anyway. It works great. Thanks!!!
Same!!! I'm hoping there is a use case for me at some point but not yet...lololol
This was just what I was looking for. Wanted to run my old QB Desktop software on my Macbook Pro M2. I had a Windows license key but didn't need to run Parallels. Perfect solution for my requirements. Thank you Jeff!!!
Thanks Jeff. Very useful content! 😀
This video is so timely. I was just contemplating whether or not to renew my parallel subscription and certainly I won't be doing that now. Thanks!
same here.
Parallels pushed us to a subscription model and I hate it for that. They should still give us the chance to buy the Pro one time fee version with unlimited CPU or GPU restrictions.
@@FerTechCH On top of that, it limits us to only 8GB of memory. Ridiculous.
you can get parralells for free with a few terminal commands you know???
@@z_dc7 what commands? do you think you can send a vid for it? im new to this
Bruh! 🌟 Gold star for you. After reading a bunch of reddit posts that basically said this was impossible, I found your video and it worked like a charm even for 11 Pro. Life saver man!
This is the only video that actually helped me downloading Windows on my Macbook. Thanks a lot!
Great walkthrough. Thanks a lot 😍
I am from Taiwan, and I have successfully installed the software according to your steps. Thank you for Jeff's sharing!
Really awesome help, Jeff. I switched to Mac M1 and had some of my software (SSMS & Power BI) not supported by Mac. I didn't want to pay for Parallel, and this video is a saviour. Thanks buddy!!!
Jeff, this is awesome.. thanks a lot for sharing your clear instruction on how to setup WinOS to MacOS machine
This is brilliant! Thank you!
You are the best. I will share your in my tech community. Thanks again
Thank U So Much Jeff It Really Helps Me Out
Thank you mate, awesome and flawless process! :)
Great walkthrough. Thanks a lot 😀
Thank you so much.. The steps were easy follow & everything is working..
This was so good! Thank you!
This looks fantastic! Thanks for putting out this video.
Really appreciate this video 😊
It works pretty good, thank you for the step by step.
Thanks! Very helpful :)
Awesome - Works flawlessly
Fantastic! Thank you!
Fantastic video buddy, been waiting for this along time.
Dude, thank you so much, this is awesome!
Great video in terms of explaining and length! And now the big question, should I install it on a Mac mini M2 base model because of the 8gb RAM?
Great tutorial!!! Thanks a lot!! 🤟
A very useful and helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks, man! You helped me so much and also to save a lot of money.
Excellent tutorial thanks so much very helpful
great video, thanks for all man
Thanks Buddy, downloaded VMware and windows file, will be installing it tomorrow..
Excellent instructions!
Thanks jeff.. Very usefull video
after trying all day finally found someone who helped me , thank you man 🥺
Thanks, that really helped me!
Do we need to eventually buy a license for windows running on ARM or can we legally continue using this specific version of Windows (assuming that this is an insider preview?) on ARM for free?
thankyou, i used paralles but got fed up with the subscription model, got vmware 13 and downloaded windows 11 pro and it works great.
Thank you very much for this tutorial! You're my savior! :D
Great video. Thanks for the information. I only had one question. What compay or organization should I put along with title to register?
Million thks! It's was so useful!
Woah, mind blown! I installed Windows on a MacBook 12 and it worked great. I have a specific requirement to use Excel and the MacOS version is not good... Swiping between WIndows and MacOS could be game changing for me instead of rebooting every time. Thanks for this!
I'm in the same boat. How's your experience been so far? Able to retain the Windows keyboard shortcuts, run vba macros smoothly, etc.?
@@reverend_wintondupree Experience has been excellent. No problems with VBA (including forms) and the keyboard works as I expect - certainly not noticed any problems. It is literally like having Windows on my MacBook, especially when full-screen. As far as I can tell, performance hasn't been an issue on default settings. I think you can alter processor parameters if need be.
I had the VM shut down for a week or so and just booted it back up - I think it took less than 5 seconds to get to Windows desktop. And as said before, i tend to just leave it running and swipe between screens.
Overall, for very little effort you can have something pretty awesome that just kind of works. Very definitely recommend this setup. As a little experiment I also built a VM Linux instance - not bad, but options for distros are limited and I think better solutions for Linux on Mac exist.
I keep a Windows PC for 'legacy' work, but now am thinking of getting a Mac Mini and just having a VM Windows for legacy.
Go for it - the worst that can happen is you don't like it and delete it!
@@johnbertram i have a question.....the student id that i have only allows "read only" function for power point,excel on mac,will i be able use edit feature if i use this method to run the apps on windows
loved it as i love mac for the slim and speed with battery and standard looks needs windows tools for few analytics works and some old apps this works like a charm
Thanks for your video!!
thank you. The Video was fully Descriptive.
Great video thanx! Just one question. IS there a memory leak? at UTM you provide 4gb and it keeps using the double amount.
Thanx
this is one of the best and most useful tutorials I have ever followed Thank You!
Awesome, thanks!
Thanks a lot, man really appreciate
Bro you are a life saver excellent video pl continue doing great work this is the only video worked for my macbook M1 air
I love you man. Nice teaching God bless you 🤩
Just wondering how much storage this takes up? I only have 8GB memory with 89 GB left of storage.
this is the best tutorial 👏👏👏
I have been using VMware Fusion on my Intel Mac to run Windows 11. So far so good.
Have you tried it on bootcamp?
Are you gaming with it??
What's the difference between Parallels and VMware? Is there any limitatiom besides gaming?
Thnks! first video that's works.
Jeff, your the man!
thank you so much man!
wow thanks just what I needed
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the education.
Wonderful, Thanks
very helpful thanks bro
Sir, you just got a new subscriber!
Great, thank you so much
Awesome Jeff ! Bingo...
I couldn't skip and use offline mode after using OOBE cmd. Easily solved it by temporarily disabling the network adapter for the virtual machine. Excellent guide. Thank you!
Also, Parallels didn't download to downloads folder in this new version of Parallels. It was stored in Library/Application Support/Parallells and in some folder for downloads. That install ISO didn't work. The VMware Fusion's download for arm W11 did however work.
Finally, a free hassle-free solution to my Office 365 envy! Great video, thanks!
I'm a Windows user and the only part of the whole Mac ecosystem that makes me envious is their ARM chips. Ngl this makes things a little tempting.
@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce ikr, I switched to a MBP 16 M1 Pro system for that very reason. Parallels Desktop is excellent at virtualizing Windows on Apple Silicon Macs, but a free alternative is a cost-effective solution for my use case.
heyyy! i have a question.....the student id that i have only allows "read only" function for power point,excel on mac,will i be able use edit feature if i use this method to run the apps on windows
I missed the parralels trial period and I want to try win11 on M1. Is there any way to restart parallels trial or download win11 iso file directly? can it be used with VMware? thank you
Thanks a lot bro
Dude you rock !!!!
Thank you for this very useful and gotoessentiels guide
the only tutorial that helped thanks
At 4:52 it says to click the Play button. When I did that step, I got this error: "The guest attempted to read beyond the end of a disc image..." Then in the Windows black screen area it says: "Start PXE over IPv4." and "PXE-E16: No valid offer received." I repeats that again, and then below that it says: "Start PXE over IP6." It then freezes, and clicking does nothing. After pressing return and clicking more though, it then presented me with a yellow Shell> prompt. If I type "reset" and press Return, it simply gets me back to the same text I just told you about. It won't boot from the image, probably because I don't know what commands to type.
After that, I deleted the virtual machine, created a new one to start over, and then it worked. Hopefully, this info will help others who experience the same.
There is one huge downside to Fusion versus Parallels. I have a UTi260B Thermal Camera that connects to my MBP via USB-C cable. Only Parallels can detect it. Fusion cannot. Sadly, even MacOS cannot, which is perhaps why feature-limited Fusion cannot. But clearly, Parallels is much smarter software because when I connect my thermal imager, I get a popup dialog that asks if I want to allow Parallels to use it. It appears as a "UVC camera." OBS and the UTI app for the imager can see it within Parallels. I can then use Quicktime to record my screen in order to save video taken by it. If Fusion could do that, it would be great because that would mean I wouldn't have to use Parallels. Honestly, I only need Windows for that one app alone. Makes no sense to pay the big bucks for a one trick pony.
So awesome!
Thank you for easy tip
Very nice video, only thing is the Windows isn't activated. Any workarounds about it? Thanks in advance
Finally I got windows from keyr (Make sure to include the dot (.) between "keyr" and "org")
I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
Hi! Thank you for the amazing video! I have one question: I can't seem to get that pop-up window to come up when pressing shift f10 no matter how many times I try. Is there another way to do it?
This works great, thanks! One thing is when booting up Fusion I get the SATA-0:1 error (because VMWARE thinks the iso file is still in my downloads folder from a DVD/CD ROM - how to I stop that pop-up during initial start up? Everything else seems to work fine other than that which is odd!
Do the USB ports work? If I connect a device will it work on this virtual machine?
Thank you @jeff
thanks a lot for this video
Awesomee!!!
This no longer seems to work - ARM copy of Windows 11 doesn't show in my downloads folder before Parallels starts running it in their window. Am I doing something wrong?
Awesome, It works perfectly....
Apologies in advance for the ignorance, but does it affect storage much? Not sure how it works
This is a great explanation, Jeff! Very clear! Could you or someone on this thread tell me if the "Print to PDF" feature in Windows 11 will work via VM Fusion Player? Parallels 18 broke it, and claimed to have fixed it in Parallels 19, but it's now missing altogether in v19 - and there is no actual support from Parallels (I've tried). Thank you!
