If the topic of virtualization interests you, check out some more of our posts on the subject. There are many other options available for virtualization, including the free UTM app which allows you to easily run Windows 11 on an Apple Silicon Mac for example, but there’s also paid solutions including VMWare and Parallels. There’s something magical about having macOS, Windows 10, and Ubuntu Linux running at the same time on one machine. To download and create an Ubuntu 20.04 VM under Parallels took two minutes. Go to to find the appropriate download, listed as “Developer preview for macOS / Arm64 (M1/M2) hosts” To launch Parallels and then bring up Windows 10 on my M1 MacBook Air took just 21 seconds.As usual, VirtualBox is completely free to download and to use. While technically in beta, anyone can get access to the developer preview beta ARM build of VirtualBox through the VirtualBox website. It does this by virtualizing hardware (that you can adjust to allocate RAM, storage capacity, etc), so the operating system itself doesn’t know that it’s not running on actual hardware. VirtualBox is virtualization software that allows you to run other operating systems in containers on your Mac directly from the application, for example you can run Linux or Windows directly within VirtualBox, and without having to use dual-booting or anything else.
