This video is so timely. I was just contemplating whether or not to renew my parallel subscription and certainly I won't be doing that now. Thanks!

Nice tutorial… I wish all tutorial videos where straight to the point and as eloquent as this.

I have no use for this, but did it anyway. It works great. Thanks!!!

Tried SO many different videos about UTM and other VM's, this was the only one that actually worked and allowed me to download it and finally get Power BI on my MacBook. Thanks!

Beautiful video. Spent literal months trying to download windows on my mac. Through thousands of methods this is the only one that works. Cheers mate.

Wow...how would anyone know this without such an amazing explanation! Thank you so much!

Way to go Jeff! That was awesome. Your instructions were flawless! Thanks so much my friend!!!😁

Thank you for the video. I bought the standard license for Parallels for my Macmini M2 pro, and I've been loving it.

great video and awesome tutorial! switched to mac because got sick of windows, but hey, there are great options 😀

Thanks, Jeff - very helpful. Only issues I had were my own, wanting to put spaces in some of the cmd lines. Appreciate it!

This was just what I was looking for. Wanted to run my old QB Desktop software on my Macbook Pro M2. I had a Windows license key but didn't need to run Parallels. Perfect solution for my requirements. Thank you Jeff!!!

You exposed your key right before the transition, not sure if it matters but just so you know since you blurred it

Bruh! 🌟 Gold star for you. After reading a bunch of reddit posts that basically said this was impossible, I found your video and it worked like a charm even for 11 Pro. Life saver man!

This changed after the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom. Now the VMware Fusion (Pro) and VMware Workstation Pro are free. Some great videos on getting the current VMware... kind of tricky and hidden. Love the trick on getting W11.

Very cool! Thanks for posting these instructions. I ran VMWare previously and this works out perfect for me.

The iso file no longer downloads into the download folder. At least, this happened to me, and when I followed your steps, it downloaded the entire VM within parallels.

This is the only video that actually helped me downloading Windows on my Macbook. Thanks a lot!

I am from Taiwan, and I have successfully installed the software according to your steps. Thank you for Jeff's sharing!

Not working Parallel is NOT installing it into the downloads folder and i cant find where its downloaded.

At 4:52 it says to click the Play button. When I did that step, I got this error: "The guest attempted to read beyond the end of a disc image..." Then in the Windows black screen area it says: "Start PXE over IPv4." and "PXE-E16: No valid offer received." I repeats that again, and then below that it says: "Start PXE over IP6." It then freezes, and clicking does nothing. After pressing return and clicking more though, it then presented me with a yellow Shell> prompt. If I type "reset" and press Return, it simply gets me back to the same text I just told you about. It won't boot from the image, probably because I don't know what commands to type. After that, I deleted the virtual machine, created a new one to start over, and then it worked. Hopefully, this info will help others who experience the same. There is one huge downside to Fusion versus Parallels. I have a UTi260B Thermal Camera that connects to my MBP via USB-C cable. Only Parallels can detect it. Fusion cannot. Sadly, even MacOS cannot, which is perhaps why feature-limited Fusion cannot. But clearly, Parallels is much smarter software because when I connect my thermal imager, I get a popup dialog that asks if I want to allow Parallels to use it. It appears as a "UVC camera." OBS and the UTI app for the imager can see it within Parallels. I can then use Quicktime to record my screen in order to save video taken by it. If Fusion could do that, it would be great because that would mean I wouldn't have to use Parallels. Honestly, I only need Windows for that one app alone. Makes no sense to pay the big bucks for a one trick pony.

Brilliant solution! It could have come a day earlier and then I wouldn't have to suffer with Homebrew and Windows Insider. Thanks for this solution! :)

Jeff, this is awesome.. thanks a lot for sharing your clear instruction on how to setup WinOS to MacOS machine

The ISO file is not showing in the downloads folder, Parallels is just going along with the Windows 11 installation process. Has this method changed?

Followed every single step, checking and rechecking that it was all correct. I got all the way to 8:57, where you go into DVD drive, Right click Setup and "Run With Powershell." On the dropdown menu it only says "Run As Administrator" not Powershell. And so therefore can't continue, any help please?

No hate, but how did y'all mess up the HDR render so badly on this video? It looks washed out and dark on even an HDR display.

iso still there when u guys download it just give it more few minute then it will pup out by itself.I LOVE YOU BRO

Great video. Great to have you back Jeff.

Woah, mind blown! I installed Windows on a MacBook 12 and it worked great. I have a specific requirement to use Excel and the MacOS version is not good... Swiping between WIndows and MacOS could be game changing for me instead of rebooting every time. Thanks for this!

Thanks for the detailed process! Awesome video!

I couldn't skip and use offline mode after using OOBE cmd. Easily solved it by temporarily disabling the network adapter for the virtual machine. Excellent guide. Thank you! Also, Parallels didn't download to downloads folder in this new version of Parallels. It was stored in Library/Application Support/Parallells and in some folder for downloads. That install ISO didn't work. The VMware Fusion's download for arm W11 did however work.

The iso file of windows doesn't show in the downloads separately, It is stored in parallels itself where we can't make it useful.

Really awesome help, Jeff. I switched to Mac M1 and had some of my software (SSMS & Power BI) not supported by Mac. I didn't want to pay for Parallel, and this video is a saviour. Thanks buddy!!!

This video helped me a ton. Thanks brother!

Used a random ISO I found online and ran it through UTM and my MacBook was on fire. Used this method and a lot better.

I have been using VMware Fusion on my Intel Mac to run Windows 11. So far so good.

after trying all day finally found someone who helped me , thank you man 🥺

Finally, a free hassle-free solution to my Office 365 envy! Great video, thanks!

Great walkthrough. Thanks a lot 😍

I’m installing VMware but it is stuck at the initialise. Not moving forward with the installation I’m stuck at it for 30mins now. I’m using Mac Pro M2 2022, please someone help me out in this.

3:19 the licence key is not blocked out briefly and can easily be seen if you play back the video at minimum speed and then pause it

i needed a second OS for my Macbook to watch phub videos thanks

Finally I got windows from keyr (Make sure to include the dot (.) between "keyr" and "org") I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is. For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho

Thank U So Much Jeff It Really Helps Me Out

Thank you so much.. The steps were easy follow & everything is working..

Im Stuck on the Click any key prompt, I get a message that says Start PXE over IPv4

Thanks Jeff. Very useful content! 😀

You are the best. I will share your in my tech community. Thanks again

This is brilliant! Thank you!

Do we need to eventually buy a license for windows running on ARM or can we legally continue using this specific version of Windows (assuming that this is an insider preview?) on ARM for free?

Could you do a shoutout between Parallels, VMWare , and UTM ? It would be great to see a side by side comparison!

loved it as i love mac for the slim and speed with battery and standard looks needs windows tools for few analytics works and some old apps this works like a charm

Hello, to Run the vmware tools I don't have the run with powershell in the context menu How to fix this?

Thank you mate, awesome and flawless process! :)

thankyou, i used paralles but got fed up with the subscription model, got vmware 13 and downloaded windows 11 pro and it works great.

Bro you are a life saver excellent video pl continue doing great work this is the only video worked for my macbook M1 air

Thanks Buddy, downloaded VMware and windows file, will be installing it tomorrow..

Great walkthrough. Thanks a lot 😀

hi all. anybody stuck at 4:55, the vmware not running? ">>Start PXE over IPv4. PXE-E16: no valid offer received" can anybody help me on this? pls

this is the best tutorial 👏👏👏

My Mac webcam isn't working in VMware and the camera driver is having a "!" icon on device manager. Please help

Just wondering how much storage this takes up? I only have 8GB memory with 89 GB left of storage.

Really appreciate this video 😊

It works pretty good, thank you for the step by step.

thank you. The Video was fully Descriptive.

A very useful and helpful video. Thank you!

... installed VMWare Fusion Reader, once completed i tried to open it and computer implied it's not compatible, although I did select MAC for Intel and ARM. ideas.

Awesome - Works flawlessly

Awesome Jeff ! Bingo...

What I’d really appreciate is a way to install macOS Mojave virtual machine running later versions of macOS, ie run 32-bit Mac apps. I’ve managed to do so with VirtualBox but performance is woeful. I also couldn’t work out the settings, and ideally able to have virtual machines connect with the same app server as if they were all running Mojave natively. But this Windows ARM on Apple Silicon is pretty cool too. Bummer business use for VMware Fusion is so expensive.

Fantastic! Thank you!

This was so good! Thank you!

Thank you very much for this tutorial! You're my savior! :D

Thanks, man! You helped me so much and also to save a lot of money.

Can you make a video in which this same process on external ssd because Mac hasn't have that much space 😅

This looks fantastic! Thanks for putting out this video.

Great video in terms of explaining and length! And now the big question, should I install it on a Mac mini M2 base model because of the 8gb RAM?

Commands During installation: Press “Shift + F10” keyboard shortcut In Command Prompt, type the OOBE\BYPASSNRO and press Enter. After installation: PS Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Thanks! Very helpful :)

Very nice video, only thing is the Windows isn't activated. Any workarounds about it? Thanks in advance

Thanks, that really helped me!

What's the difference between Parallels and VMware? Is there any limitatiom besides gaming?

who was the first person to figure this out and I am curious how would you go about figuring out all of those steps, genuinely curious. I am studying software development and genuinely curious.

This no longer seems to work - ARM copy of Windows 11 doesn't show in my downloads folder before Parallels starts running it in their window. Am I doing something wrong?

Excellent tutorial thanks so much very helpful

I love you man. Nice teaching God bless you 🤩

Thanks jeff.. Very usefull video

great video, thanks for all man

Thanks for your video!!

Excellent instructions!

Thanks a lot bro

this is one of the best and most useful tutorials I have ever followed Thank You!

I don't think you can find a better guide on ANYthing here on KZfaq. This was so easy to follow, thanks so much! One small tip, I actually didn't know about the network bypass, so it might be a good idea to remind the viewers about the command to disable it somewhere towards the beginning

Jeff, your the man!

Sir, you just got a new subscriber!

thanks, I can now use my Minitab software on MacBook Air M2, so I didn't want to remove my 2017 MacBook Air with Intel. 👍🏻

Dude, thank you so much, this is awesome!

I know there was a VMware Player for Windows and desktop Linux, that was later rebranded to VMware Workstation Player, and now there's a VMware Fusion Player for macOS?! 🤯 Also, I seem to remember a third-party website that was somehow able to get Windows installation media and also generate them for Windows Insider builds that didn't have them, but I can't remember what that website was called. (7:30) You could probably secondary click on the Start button (Control+Click on macOS should map to that) or press Windows+X (which I think would be mapped to Option+X or Command+X), then click "PowerShell (Admin)".

It good to see other options for windows besides parallels

Great tutorial!!! Thanks a lot!! 🤟
