Parallels uses Insider builds of Windows ARM, which aren't useful if you want a stable system. Additionally, Microsoft only offers those builds for people who have Windows ARM licenses, so you can't use this in a professional setting since you're violating the EULA.
- JonathonW 4y agoThe current version of Parallels uses the stable build of Windows 11 for ARM. Once you've installed Windows, it's possible to pay for and license Windows directly from Microsoft via the Windows Store app. There might be a brief period where you're technically unlicensed (not sure what the exact verbiage is in the current Windows EULA about trial/grace periods), but the end result is a properly-licensed Windows 11 install.
- can16358p 4y agoLast time I checked I could not purchase a license to activate Windows 11 ARM on Parallels on Mac. It gave all sorts of not founds/errors in the store app. This was a few months ago. Did it change or am I missing something?
- JonathonW 4y agoProbably changed-- I had no issues buying a license back in March.
