Games and apps won't work if they use a version of OpenGL greater than 1.1, or if they rely on 'anti-cheat' drivers that haven't been made for Windows 10 ARM-based PCs. You can usually find 32-bit (x86) versions of apps, but some app developers only offer 64-bit (圆4) apps.Ĭertain games won’t work. The Windows 10 for ARM64 virtual machine only works with a limited set of apps, and fewer games will run on it than on the Intel version.įrom Microsoft’s support document on ARM64 compatibility: 64-bit (圆4) apps won’t work. However, this brings us to the biggest drawback of all for Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac. Many popular Windows-based games aren’t available for the Mac, and while you can use the Intel-based version of Parallels to run many of them, it’s usually not the best experience. That last bullet point may get gamers’ hearts beating faster.

DirectX 11 is 60% better on Windows 10 for ARM64 on an M1-based Mac, compared to an Intel-based MacBook Pro that has a Radeon Pro 555X graphics processor.Virtual machine performance is improved, up to 30 percent faster when a Windows 10 for ARM64 virtual machine is running on an M1-based Mac compared to Windows 10 running on a MacBook Air with an Intel Core i9 chip.This is great news for users of portable Macs, as running Windows historically has been a significant drain on battery life.

The greater efficiency of the M1 chip means Parallels Desktop for Mac users 2.5 times less energy than on a 2020 Intel MacBook Air.

I created a ticket, but since beginning of December support does not help me.The muscle and energy-stingy features of Apple’s M1 processor gives a boost to Parallels, according to the company: I also tried to reinstall Bootcamp drivers directly in windows and it is not resolving the problem. after installation parallels tools, Bootcamp drivers disappearing Unfortunately, resolution, the feeling is terrible. if I will set up parallels ( without installing parallels tools ) I can reopen windows directly and everything is working correctly.

I reinstalled my windows through Bootcamp a few times and I found that: I do not have got special keys from the keyboard, I can't open, Bootcamp option, I can't use right-click on the touchpad. Sometimes I need to run Windows directly ( not through parallels ), and I found that Bootcamp drivers disappeared. In parallels, everything is working correctly.ģ. To reach proper resolution etc I installed parallels tools. Sometimes I need to work with windows at the same time, so I decided to use parallels and create virtualization from Bootcamp. I installed windows through Bootcamp, everything was working correctly.Ģ. I'm using Macbook Pro 15' 2017 with Catalina and Parallels 15 pro.ġ. Maybe someone knows how to fix this problem.
