    To create a compatible virtual machine, use an ISO or VHDX image file with an ARM-based operating system

    My installation has just updated to 10296.1010 (previously .1000) ...
    Noticed that internet connection not working ... haven't tried to do fix yet ...

    Still reeling from 10292.1010 ... rolled back to .1000 and recovered some disk space ... VM trashed and never booted since ...

    Seen another poster record that recovering disk space corrupted things ... won't do that again ...

    Anybody else on 10296.1010 yet ... noticing any issues ?

    I noticed that 296.1010 was a bit jittery when first updated. It's stabilized now. The internet connectivity behavior has not changed for me. Occasionally it loses access (especially after a resume), I just fire up cmd and type "ipconfig /renew". Not an ideal outcome, but oh well.

    I'm a Microsoft Partner, and assumed that the ISO image of Windows 10 Enterprise for ARM would work okay. However, when trying to install it I get the following error message. Any ideas gratefully received!

    Same here, what I did was install the Pro version and put the Enterprise key on it.

    It's Build 21354.
    PS: I was able to activate with my other Win10 Pro key.
    So only question now is the Acrobat DC Compatability.

    Does your UI is slightly lagging compared to macOS or x86 Windows? Animation is not smooth enough.

    Update: After a few attempts and downloading a different Acrobat installer. I managed to get it installed and working well.

    Hello! I've installed this version of Windows. Now do I need to activate it?

    I downloaded a VHDX image. Created a new virtual machine from Parallels Control Center. Walked through the wizard, clicked the large tile "Create New - Install Windows from a DVD or image file". The wizard automatically found the VHDX file and from there it installed Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview without any problems. Your Mac user should have admin-rights though, otherwise it will not run smoothly.

    Hi. For how long will this "Insider Preview" work? I got it up and running ok but will this continue to work indefinitely? I expect not.

    Ok, I've installed Windows. Now I can't install Netframework 3.5, have anybody do this? I'm getting 0x800F0950 error, and I've search all over the Internet, but I can't resolve this problem for 3 days. I think that it is because of arm64

    Is there an Insider Preview version for Windows home? That's the one I have a product key for. I installed Windows 10 ok in Parallels, but can't activate it because it is Windows Pro instead of Windows Home.

    I am also having problems with the Windows 10 ARM preview. I go to the MS download page, but can not get onto the tab to the program. I think it may be because I do not have any version of Windows installed, so I am not recognized I do not want to try to purchase and download a "regular" version of Windows 10, and then get the preview, because I am concerned it might cause problems on the Mac (also, MS might just refuse to do it because it's incompatible with the Mac). Microsoft could offer no assistance, nor could Apple. Anybody able to help?
