New M1 Mac - older Mac OS Mojave - 32-bit-software

RuedigerW1 · Oct 18, 2021

Hello, is it possible to install an older Mac OS (e.g. Mac OS 10.14 Mojave) on a new M1 Mac with Parallels Desktop 17 and run 32-bit software on it?

No. It is not possible

Thanks, can you justify that? What is your experience?

Mojave does not run on the M1, and Parallels does not emulate an Intel CPU. So now virtual 10.14 on M1 Macs.

Wouldn't Parallels be able to emulate an Intel PC so that 32-bit software can still be used?
