It's not at all a question of illegal, it's just Microsoft's EULA, which they can choose to enforce, or not. No watermark is displayed at the bottom of the screen and when I entered WINVER in PowerShell there was no expiration date!

It took quite a bit of time for the ISO installer to be created, but within the extracted folder an ISO file entitled _RELEASE_SVC_PROD2_CLIENTMULTI_A64FRE_EN-US.ISO was found, which I was then able to copy back over to my macOS system, select as the source of a new Windows VM in Parallels Desktop and successfully complete the installation process. All I had to do was extract the package to a temporary folder in a Windows 11 Insider Preview virtual machine I'd already created from the Insider Preview image, then right-click the 'uup_download_windows.cmd' file and run it as an Administrator, and the script did all the rest. This package was entitled '22000.282_arm64_en-us_professional_2cd33c3d_convert_virtual.zip' and totalled around 4.2 MB in size. Here, I selected the 'Download, add additional editions and convert to ISO', chose Windows Enterprise, checked all conversion options and then created the download package.

I selected 'English-US' as my preferred language, then Next, where I checked Windows Pro as the edition, then Next again. Thank you!įor your information, all I had to do was download the UUP package from the URL address () you'd provided on the Parallels Forums: OK, I just wanted you to know I successfully installed Windows 11 圆4 Enterprise ARM in Parallels Desktop V17.1.0 using the tips you'd given me here. If what is currently going on is illegal, someone should tell Parallels, who certainly are making money from Windows ARM on Mac ! Not a statement saying 'you should not be do this'.

I have taken the 'Not supported' statement as meaning just that.'don't come to us for help with problems', which is the same as it always has been for X86 Bootcamp and VMs. Perhaps meantime I should go back on Insider if that is 'less illegal'. I could manage without Windows so won't miss it if the situation becomes clearer.

More like a kind of undefined limbo, while Parallels, Microsoft and Apple work out their positions. While not doubting what you say, the present situation doesn't quite feel quite like that to me.

I don't know if that affects your comment about valid key calculations.Īlthough I don't work for anyone, and don't make any money from Windows (or Mac), I am very averse to running software illegally. My three retail licenses (two of which are unused) are linked to my MS account, so when I sign in it is activated.

I haven't activated a Windows install with an actual key for a long time. I use my Visual Studio licensing for x86 versions running in VM's at work, and that's only good for testing and development, not production.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for comprehensive reply. I haven't seen an analysis if insider preview builds would be business licensing compliant though, so I can't comment on that. It's a little gray, but the insider preview is a way around that, but you have to stay compliant with that program, and that means lots of updates.

I don't think Microsoft would kill it later, nor would they go after individuals, but given my working situation, there's no way I could recommend it.Īs of now, the only way to be license compliant with Windows on Arm, is to buy a device that already has it installed, and only use it on that device. If you're working for someone else, yeah, that would be my advice, as a license violation can be costly for businesses, but for personal stuff, I have no advice. The processor is only taken into account if you don't have a valid key, or the hardware changed dramatically - not from first install. That one is actually easy to answer, it uses the same logic as their normal Windows 11, including valid key calculations. Since the market is so small, that could be a reason. Why they have the EULA like the way they do I can't make much of a guess, but it might be to appease those they're trying to get to make ARM machines running Windows. (and $3099 is too much to pay for something that I can't use for work!) I'd have no problem paying for a license if they'd just sell it to me! I cancelled my order for a new M1 MBP Max because I can't do work with it without Windows.
