    Hi!
    I am trying to run Lumion on my MacBook Pro (M2 Pro) with the latest Parallels on Win11 Pro. Yet, I didn't figure out how to make it work. Does somebody has some experience with that already? Is it even possible?

    Best regards,
    Patrik

    Hello,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Judging by the information on the official Lumion software site, the supported processors are only AMD and Intel.

    https://lumion.com/product/system-requirements

    The Apple Silicon chip has an Arm architecture (unlike the x86/x64 architecture typical of classic desktop processors). And in a virtual machine on a Mac with an M-series chip, it is currently possible to run only Window 11 Arm--the Windows version for processors with Arm architecture (for example, it is used on devices with mobile chips like Microsoft Surface Pro X). And indeed, despite the built-in compatibility layer that allows you to run x86/x64 applications on Windows Arm, some applications, or drivers do not work.

    We advise you to contact the Lumion support team to inquire about when support Windows 11 ARM will be implemented.
