    Windows 11 ARM issues with multiple games on M1 MacBook Air via Parallels Desktop

    Hi everyone,

    I am a big fan of retro games. Recently I switched from my MB Pro 2017 with Windows 10 to a new M1 MB Air 2020, 16GB RAM and Windows 11 - Parallels Desktop 17. The new MacBook and Windows 11 are running on ARM.

    After setting up Windows 11 and installing FIFA 08, 09, 10, 13, 16 and 17 (the latter three via Origin), I found out that non of these games seem to work. FIFA 08 and 10 start, the menus look fine, sound works as well but once I enter a game the screen turns either black or pink. The other FIFA titles I mentioned aren't even opening.

    I tried the following:
    - All variations of starting the games in Compatibility Mode, including different emulation settings
    - All kinds of graphics settings in the respective games and in Parallels Desktop 17

    So far no luck. Does anyone have another suggestion what I could do to open and run these games on Windows 11 ARM?

    Could it be an issue involving DirectX?

    Are there any other emulation settings except for the ones in the Compatibility tab?

    Activating Windows 11 on parallels

    Hi,

    I have installed windows 11 through parallels on MacBook M1. The installation process was automatic, guided by the parallels and eventually I got Windows 11 Home Edition. It is not activated. When I try to activate, it takes to the Microsoft store but there is no option to purchase the windows 11 key. I would like to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro version. Any ideas?

    Problem upgrading to Win 11 on Parallels

    I am running Win 10 on Parallels on a 2019 MacBook Pro. When I try to upgrade I get a message that there is a 'legacy BIOS' and it cannot be upgraded. Can I download Win 11 without having to pay for it? My copy of Win 10 was upgraded from Win 7 on Parallels. The original Windows 7 was part of a 3 pack I bought when it came out and I no longer have the box / paperwork.
