It may in fact work once installed but I can't find out because it will not download. And, to be clear, the problem is that it will not download. So far, the only app I cannot get to work in this Windows 11 environment is Norton.

I have followed those instructions and so far everything works, including newer apps like Microsoft 365 and some very old legacy apps dating back 10 years. Parallels provides instructions on how to load and run Windows 11 on Parallels 17 on an M1 Mac. Windows 10 will not install on Parallels 17, only Windows 11 will. That is when I received the error message that it would not download because it was not compatible with the operating system (Windows 11 I assume).įrom what little I have learned, in order to run Windows on an M1 Mac, I need to run Parallels 17 (which has been designed to run on the M1 chip). After that install, I went to my Norton account web page from a browser running in the virtual machine (Parallels 17 and Windows 11) and attempted to download the latest version of Norton from there. When I upgraded to my new Mac (M1), I found that I had to install Windows 11 with Parallels as I noted in a previous comment. A 14-day free trial is also available.I don't remember what version of Norton I was running in Parallels on my previous Mac. New standard licenses are available for $100 a year on a subscription plan, or $130 a year for a one-time purchase. If you’re using Parallels Desktop 17, you can upgrade to the standard edition of Parallels Desktop 18 for $70. IT admins can also deploy or provision a Windows 11 VM on a Mac, as well as manage Parallels Customer Experience Program participation centrally.

There’s now convenient SSO/SAML authentication that enables employees to sign in and activate Parallels Desktop with a corporate account.
