Virtualization for x86/x64 with high performance on M1/M2

Hey guys


I'm using my old MacBookPro 2015 for work but since I'm upgraded from High Sierra to Monterrey (yes, I didn't upgraded for a long time) my Mac isn't that powerful anymore and the battery performance decreased. But all in all I think I need an upgrade to a faster device.


Unfortunately one of my parts for my work is Microsoft Windows with x86 and x64 applications with a good working speed. It does not make any sense for me, if the working speed is very slow under an virtualized Windows. At the moment I'm running Parallels and I'm absolutely fine with it.


Is there any possibility for that case or is now the time where I have to say good bye to Apple (for my it seems since a lot of years, that Apple is not interested anymore in business users or it professionals).

Only with the ARM version from the windows insider program. A non production version of windows using for work is a disaster meant to happen

Currently the only way to possibly run an Intel version of Windows on an M1 Mac is by utilizing UTM which is based on the free open source QEMU project. QEMU is a machine emulator and virtualizer. It is hard to say whether it will be sufficient for your needs or how well it will work.
