Re: Installing windows on MacBookPro M3

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi,  I can tell you that yes, VMWARE Fusion does work on the m processors, I have the very same M3, 18gb ram MacBook Pro. I use Windows to play games.  As to the actual setup of the machine, I'll be totally honest and say that I had someone do that for me, so I unfortunately can't help in that aspect. But once everything's all set up, it works great.  Brianna  On Oct 29, 2025, at 12:19 PM, Dave Carlson <dgcarlson0...@gmail.com> wrote: Phil, More to this discussion. I’m recalling that the concept of installing Windows on a Mac has been upended by the introduction of the new M series Mac. It’s possible that VM Ware and Parallels have both fallen behind in this regard and that the solutions may not be usable with the new processor types. Suggest you read up on these solutions and dig down to how they might or might not work with the M3 processor you have. BTW I also have the MacBook Pro M3 machine.

Is parallels still in accessible? Is VMware fusion free these days and where do I get it? Haven’t installed windows in a dozen years or so. Any help out there? Come on, I know lots of people here use windows on the Mac. Please chime in with your experience and your suggestions.
