You didn't. You used an emulator rather than a hypervisor, which is why it was slow.
For most use cases, running x86 Windows applications is much better either under ARM Windows 11 in a VM, or with a Wine-based solution. But if you really need an x86 Windows kernel running, it's going to be slow.
- sidewndr46 3y agoI thought the M1 could run x86 code via some sort of layer they added?
- LeoPanthera 3y agoIt can run Intel Mac applications via translation, but this doesn't extend to virtual machines. Your VM host (more accurately, your emulation host) must perform the x86 emulation itself. UTM for example uses qemu for this.
- ace2358 3y agoThere is a way to use apples Rosetta translation layer, through the vm, to run x86 binaries on arm Linux. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running_intel_binaries_in_linux_vms_with_rosetta https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...
- LeoPanthera 3y agoThat's very cool, but doesn't help you run an Intel OS in a VM under Rosetta.
- ace2358 3y agoAh yes true, thank you.
