With Windows 10 for ARM, you can then run x86 applications using Microsoft's emulation features. Other products may exist for running virtual machines on M1 Macs (like Parallels) but they can only virtualize other ARM-based operating systems, and that includes Windows 10. With the base image in place, you can now create the virtual disk image in which you will install macOS. The command, given below, downloads the macOS Catalina installation image./jumpstart. A new M1 Mac is basically a super-powerful Raspberry Pi. Run the following script from within the macOS folder that will host your virtual machine. It enables you to install other operating systems in virtual machines. You will see a screen like this: Double click on VirtualBox. VirtualBox is free and open source virtualization software from Oracle. dmg file should be downloaded to your Downloads folder.

Navigate to where VirtualBox is installed. Open the Command Prompt as Administrator. The software actually does very little itself and just sets up and coordinates a lot of activity between the user and their hardware.Īpple M1 is an ARM-based "system on a chip" platform and is entirely different from not only an x86 CPU but also its entire underlying hardware platform (BIOS, UEFI, etc.). Installing VirtualBox on your Mac Go to VirtualBox’s download page and click OS X hosts. Shut down the macOS virtual machine and completely exit VirtualBox. VirtualBox currently runs on x86-64 hardware and utilizes Intel VT-x or AMD-V hardware virtualization technology.
