To use WSL2 (e.g. for running Docker Desktop)/create other VMs for testing/development/Bluestacks emulator inside a Windows on Arm VM in Parallels Desktop for Macs with Apple silicon, nested virtualization is required.
Please support it.

Need this ASAP.

I haven't had a chance to try this, but in a WSL presentation from the recent MS Build event, Q&A addressed the question of running WSL 2 and its new features on Arm -- probably referring to Windows Arm running on bare metal, which is becoming more prevalent with recent laptops. In any case it would be sad to see Apple users left out and moving to native Windows Arm machines after the head start the M series processors gave us... so please PLEASE get nested virtualization done so we can keep showing our Apple machines off as THE dev solution. Thanks for listening.
This is a user-to-user forum. Microsoft is not here, and Apple largely is not here, except to moderate it.
If you want support for nested virtualization on Apple Silicon machines, you should probably direct your request both to Microsoft and to Apple.
