The VMware Fusion Tech Preview can be downloaded from the VMware website. While in the testing period, VMware Fusion will be free to use. VMware says that it is looking for feedback from users in order to iron out kinks and add new capabilities in preparation for more formal support later this year. Ubuntu 20.04.4 and 22.04 for arm64 are not currently booting (Ubuntu 20.04.4 builds from July 5 and onward) We are working to resolve this.
VMWARE FUSION M1 CHIP PRO
macOS virtual machines are out of scope for this release, but it's something we're looking into. Is it possible to emulate a M1 chip VM (Virtual hardware as a Mac with M1 Apple silicon), using VMware Fusion Pro 12 installed on an intel powered Mac (like a MacBook Pro 13' 2019 model, x86-64).Runs very fast There exists, of course, a Windows ARM version downloadable. So I started to test Fusion for M1 and could install&run Linux for ARM. Fusion will not support running VMs across different architectures. I worked many many years with Fusion on Intel Mac and ran into the same issue since last year, when I bought the new 16' M1 macbook pro.At the current time, Fusion on Apple silicon devices is "still a work in progress" and there are some limitations to be aware of. While the new functionality was designed with Windows 11 in mind, VMware says the tools can be used with other VMs too. To learn more about how VMWare is handling the migration of Fusion to the M1 chip, I reached out to Fusion Product Line Marketing Manager Michael Roy. 3D Graphics HW Acceleration and OpenGL 4.3 in Linux VMs* (Requires Linux 5.19+ & Mesa 22.1.3+) But the migration of Apple products to the new Apple-produced M1 series chip after years of being based on the Intel architecture has produced some challenges.VMtools installation for Windows 11 GOS on M1.Windows 11 on Intel and Apple Silicon with 2D GFX and Networking.

Available as a free tech preview, the 2H22 version of Fusion will finally allow Apple silicon Mac users to download and use Windows on their machines through virtualization.įeatures include Windows 11 support with 2D GFX and networking, VMtools installation for Windows on Apple silicon machines, improved Linux support on Apple silicon machines, and more. vmware fusion - I still have to have one foot in Windows world, and not being able to spin-up and old windows vm is a deal breaker for me.
VMWARE FUSION M1 CHIP UPDATE
