VMWare Fusion

Thanks. I guess I should have waited till Fusion provided an upgrade before I bought the M1 MacBook Air.

FWIW, from 2 weeks ago:

So it seems both Parallels and VMware are working on native M1

versions of their virtualization software. However, neither has mentioned

any time line for final product releases.

I have had mine for a week now (8 CPU/8 GPU), and it totally blows away

my late 2013 27" i5 iMac. Intel apps in Rosetta 2 run twice as fast and based

on my benchmarks are generally comparable to running them on anything

but on the top end i9 iMacs, iMac Pro, or MacPro. And all that without a fan!

Ps. Affinity Photo screams on myMBA M1!

MBA = MacBook Air. The Mac in your signature.

Not according to VMWare.

You'll have to check with the makers of Fusion to see what its system requirements are.

If you have an M1 MBA, VMWare Fusion is not yet compatible. It is compatible with Big Sur.

You're welcome. I didn't wait. I bought mine within minutes of its release.
