VMware Fusion 13 adds support for Windows 11 on Mac

VMware Fusion 13 is now available and supports Windows 11 on Apple Silicon. VMware's virtualization software now has a big update, Fusion 13, which offers native support for Apple Silicon.

VMware Fusion 13 

Apple Silicon support is now available in VMware Fusion in its full form for the first time after the firm tested the capability in beta.Apple computers with Apple Silicon processors have received full compatibility with Windows 11 running within a virtual machine.

With the help of this upgrade, owners of Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs may run operating systems like Windows 11 in a virtual environment and take use of both macOS and Windows 11's capability. Users of Macs must run Windows 11 for ARM on Apple Silicon CPUs. Widows 11 has emulation tools to run versions of Intel programmes, similar to macOS:

We unveiled the initial set of features for Windows 11 on Arm at Apple Silicon. Along with other features, VMware Tools now offers virtual networking and graphics. Windows 11 looks excellent and the resolution may be changed to 4K and higher with approved and signed drivers!.

However, Windows 11 on Arm includes built-in emulation to run these programmes written for Intel/AMD, and our user-level testing has found that this works for people who prefer to use more conventional win32 and x64 apps. out of the box.

VMware Fusion 13 is a single binary in a single DMG, making it simple to instal on any Mac, whether it has an Apple Silicon or Intel processor.

You can read the entire VMware announcement on his blog. On the VMware website, the programme is also accessible with a free trial.

Latest version of VMware Fusion 13 

The latest version of VMware Fusion 13 allows you to run the Windows 11 operating system on computers running macOS Ventura. We are talking about devices with Intel and Apple Silicon chips.

The software allows you to circumvent the limitations of the Windows 11 operating system (including the need for the TPM 2.0 module), which means that there is no Mac computer compatible with Microsoft Windows 11 on the market.

Computers equipped with ARM units can take advantage of Windows 11 ARM, which natively runs on devices such as Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (ARM) or Microsoft Surface Pro X.

In terms of graphics performance, VMware offers impressive numbers:

In terms of graphics, Fusion 13 supports OpenGL 4.3 on Windows and Linux VMs on Intel and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon.

On Intel, Windows continues to use DirectX 11 graphics and Fusion continues to support eGPU devices for incredible performance using some of the fastest GPUs available.

On Apple Silicon Fusion can deliver OpenGL 4.3 with blazingly fast hardware-accelerated 3D for hand-based Linux virtual machines running Linux kernel 5.19 or higher.

VMware Fusion 13 has a built-in x86 on ARM emulator that allows you to run x86 or Win32 programs on computers with Apple M1 or Apple M2 family of processors.

Software such as VMware Fusion 13 could be a good replacement for Apple's Boot Camp feature, which allowed the Windows operating system to run on Apple computers equipped with Intel x86 processors.
