I just got Windows 7 running on an M1 Macbook Pro with UTM today actually. It took a bit of configuring but I am getting pretty amazing performance considering it's having to do a full ISA emulation (not using Rosetta.. QEMU can use Rosetta to translate for Linux ELF's in Linux VM's but it doesn't seem like it can do so under an x86 Windows VM). I have one legacy Windows application that I need sometimes randomly when traveling and this is amazing that it runs as well as it does- it is a program using OpenGL and the performance is useable for basic tasks and I am just using a the default VGA card emulation, I haven't even setup any advanced GPU card emulation yet. I'm blown away.
- zamadatix 4y agoIf you Crossover works for your app you can pipe x86 32 but apps through Rosetta 2 and Crossover will bridge the GPU stuff to an actual GPU. This is a lifesaver for me on 1 ancient app I have to use for work.
