Windows Server 2025 on ARM vm - no network adaptor found

Dear all,

I have installed Parallels Desktop 20 on my MacBook Pro, M2 Pro CPU, and successfully installed Window Server 2025 on ARM (build 26311).
My problem is: NO network adaptor is found in the Windows Server 2025 installation, regardless of shared networking/bridged mode I choose in the VM settings.
I understand that Windows Server 2025 on ARM is still at the evaluation stage.
Anyone have tested installing Windows Server 2025 ARM ok, and with network adatpor? Your advice please.

Thanks.
Jack

 

Samer here , did you manage to fix it?

 

if anyone here , just found out I need to install Parallels tools from action , ( first time mac users so this is new to me )

 

Dear Jack,
I have just now been to Windows Insider to find the Server 2025 ARM64 ISO but only found an Intel version 26311.
Where did you find the ARM64 version?
Thanks

Hey guys, so Samer solution works.
To make it more clear for others, here's a step by step solution:

1. Open Windows Server Virtual Machine.
2. Login to your account, until you see your desktop.
3. Look at the top of your screen, there's a tab called Action. Hover your mouse over there.
4. A menu will pop up - select Parallels Tools... or Install Parallels Tools...
5. Windows Server will get a CD/DVD mounted, use option Install Parallels Tools from it and that's it, let it do its job.

As for ARM64 ISO, you can hit me up on my mail - sq.programs@gmail.com

 

Any help with the arm iso would be a great help please. Really want to try 2025 server arm on my parallels.

 

Hi all,
Just to provide supplementary information. The arm64 version and the installation details were mentioned in the post:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/windows-server-2025-arm.2423766/

Noticed that a newer Windows Insider Preview version is available in uupdump.net. Got to try to build the arm64 iso and try again in Parallels.

 

Hi , I install windows server 2025 from uupdump.net. I can't access internet.Any help?

 

Did you find the solution.I don't have internet connection too :/

 

Anyone with the ARM ISO please kindly share. Would be greatly appreciated.
The ARM version has been been removed from Microsoft severs so the links on uupdump are void.
