Hello, I am using Parallels 18.2.0 with a M1 chip. Parallels always installs the Windows 11 Pro version, but I only have a license of the Home version. During the installation I also had no possibility to choose the version. On the site of Microsoft have not found an iso file for Windows arm. And from third party sites I was not sure if it is safe. How can I install Windows 11 Home? Greetings Matthias Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Hello Matthias, Foremost, please be advised that Windows Home Edition isn't officially supported by Microsoft to run on M-Series Mac computers, while Windows 11 Pro Edition is. That's why Pro Edition is downloaded by default. You can contact Microsoft and arrange a refund for your Windows Home Edition license to purchase a Windows Pro Edition license from them. If you posses a Microsoft account, you can get support at https://aka.ms/msfthelp. Self-help resources are available at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows. If it doesn't help you, please let me know.
Hello Mikhail, Thank you for your message. Too bad. I did the same thing on my wife's computer in December. Also a M1 chip. At that time it still worked with Home. I have now as a workaround copied the Windows from my wife on my computer, created a new user and entered my Windows activation key. This works so far without problems. Greetings Matthias
