is VMware fusion supported on M1 processor ?
MacBook Air
Hi Aaron,
VMware does have some of the enterprise products working on Apple Silicon M1, but Fusion is not there yet - the internal team are working on it - see the blog.
Until they officially advertise Fusion as M1 supported any other Big Sur news are Inte's only ;(
Cheers,
I just spoke with the licensing team at VMware, and they said it is supported on the ARM machines. My only hesitation is that the confidence level of their answer was about a 3 out of 10. Can anyone confirm if this is true?
Thank you!
I was just thinking that they say it is supported on Big Sur, with no Intel-only caveat that might be expected if there were an issue using it on M1s. Rosetta 2 seems to be remarkably effective at loading Intel Mac software. I guess I could try installing it on my new M1 Air and see how I get on, but it isn't a tool I'm too familiar with so I may not be able to judge how well it is performing.

I would be very interest in the results if you give it a shot. Thanks!
I just tested VM Fusion on a Mac mini M1. Every attempt yields a connection failure.
So my answer would be NO, VM emulation does not work (yet?).
Is VMware fusion supported on M1 processor based Mac?
