I bought the MacBook Pro M1 in November and need Parallels, then bought Parallels on the original site, but it doesn't work until today, 02/17/2021. So my new attempt at a different version of Parallels Desktop after a long googling without great results came out with an alleged working product that I bought on good luck unfortunately does not work, version not compatible with M1 chip!

Parallels Support is unfortunately not available in German and couldn't help me in English. He wrote me an email with the beta version, but it doesn't work either. Can anyone give me a solution or a reason for it?

Please give me a lot of help when I bought a Windows notebook for work at the beginning of January because that is not possible with Apple!

! ALSO LIKE TO TELEPHONE!

Unfortunately, you don't write what exactly doesn't work for you. The current Beta 2 from Parallels for the M1 actually works pretty well. Not with you and if so, what is wrong?

My guess is that you want to install Windows. But this is only possible with the beta of Windows for ARM and it is not yet really productive. But that's more to Microsoft and less to Parallels and Apple.

So if you need Windows, you have bad cards with the M1. But that was actually clear from the start.

Thanks for your answer but what do you want to tell me that it actually works but then it doesn't? My question was can Parallels (Windows) be used for the MacBook Pro M1 and if so, how and where can I find the data and facts I need!

That's what I wrote: Parallels for the M1 is available as a beta and it works quite well. Windows for ARM is also available from Microsoft as a beta and it runs in the Parallels beta - but more bad than good and you can't work productively with it. That won't change in the foreseeable future either.

So there's currently no way to use Windows on an M1 Mac.
