Will M1 Mac run x86 version of Parallels to run x86 version of Windows?

I need to know if I can run x86 Windows 10 (not Windows 10 ARM) on the x86 version of Parallels on the M1 with Rosetta translation. The reason I'm asking about this is that the x86 version of Office 365 has MS Access, which doesn't have a native executable for MacOS. I realize it may run a bit more slowly but is it possible?

 

Short answer no. Parallels Desktop will detect the processor type as M1 and install the supported stack. I have Office 365 on my WoA instance and it comes with Access.

 

It's UTM Virtual Machines. It is available for $9.99 in the App Store I think. It may be using QEMU under the cover. Not sure about performance or stability.

 

Think about this carefully... Why would you want to even do that? If it's to run something in user-land why not use Windows ARM that can run x86 under emulation? Why run the entire VM in emulation and lose massive performance?

 

Just use windows 365 instead with remote app work perfectly

 

And you can run the 64-bit version now. If your company allows it, you can even run the latest beta.

 

I just found this thread. And while I am not the OP and understand that Office runs fine on the ARM versions of Windows, the older Intel apps don't all emulate perfectly. I can install Lotus Approach and it runs but I can't print any of my letter formats when running on either ARM version of Windows.

 

Old thread I see, but I find the newer Parallels for Mac (M1) rude, as when I choose the prepared KaliLinux image, it results in a a single linked Kali in Parallels on M1 Mac. Older install of Parallels Intel under M1's Rosetta gave a cleaner Parallels with multiple VM capability, Parallels' KaliLinux VM seems to Bogard entire Parallels VM
