So we've got the brand new macbook pros like the 14 inch macbook pro that i have
here with an m1 pro chipset inside it but we've also got windows 11 preview out there
and in fact there's a windows 11 preview for arm 64 sort of chipsets the kind of chipsets
that i like inside the macbook pro with the m1 pro the m1 max and even the standard m1 so today
i'm going to be testing windows 11 the arm 64 version on parallels on this macbook pro 14 inch
Hi guys it's Matt here, so that's right today i'm going to be demoing
basically windows 11 running on an m1 pro macbook pro 14-inch model so this macbook
pro the m1 pro chips that i've got inside it's there's so many different versions you can pick
this is the standard one this is the one with the 10 cores inside it two efficiency cores
and also eight performance cores it's got a 16 core gpu and it's also got 16 gigabytes of ram
allocated to this machine so what i'm going to do is i'm going to first we'll show you how to get
windows 11 downloaded and then after this i'm going to power up parallels and we're gonna have a
little bit of a fiddle around in windows 11. well let's get started and i'm going to start recording
my screen for this so first of all guys what you'll need to get is parallels and actually what
you need to get is parallel 70. i'm just going to open it up here i've actually installed it already
and i just want to quickly show a look at the screen a second but let's have a look at this
about parallels it needs to be parallels desktop 17 for mac or later has to be version 17 to make
this run with windows 11. now as i close out this is a very important message as you can see with
the installation assistant here it says here that it's recognized that i've got an apple m1 chipset
inside it well actually i don't if i show you here we show you you can actually see i've actually got
an apple m1 pro and just in case for your geeky guys out there this is an m1 pro with the 10 cores
so the two efficiency cores eight performance cores and i've also got a 16 core gpu and there's
also 16 gigabytes of ram inside this machine i've got right here just close that down but as you can
see like i said it's recognized that i've got a apple silicon chipset as it were and then you
can see here you can click on this and this will actually take you to a guide and how to download
basically the arm version the one that will work with basically an m1 chipset or m1 pro or m1 max
inside that and then what you need to do is you need to register for the windows insider program
if you haven't done that already i already have done that and then what you need to do is click
the download the installation file and like i said if you already signed in and everything you should
be able to download this straight away so just going to load this page and as you can see here
straight away i'm not signed in so i'm just going to sign in and we'll come back to this page again
oh there we go it's actually recognized i've now signed in it's a bit odd but you can see here it
says here download the windows client arm64 inside preview so i'm going to click on this
and there we go it's going to start to download so i'm going to leave that download and then
once completed we'll go back to parallels so with that preview downloaded what you'll do is go back
to the installation assistant click continue and once it's created new just leave it as it is click
continue again and this time we want to actually select the file so i'm going to select it here
it's in my download there it is the vhdx so i'm going to select that click open and what should
happen now it should recognize this file there we go windows 11 and it's going to try doing the
installation so i'm going to click continue now i've got the choice of what i want to users for
so i can never use it for productivity or games only i'm actually gonna say gabe zolly just for
the fun of it to give more resources over tells me how much space it's going to use it's also going
to make a desktop sort of shortcut for me and i can also customize the settings for installation
so hopefully it'll allow me to do that in a second once it's complete so let me just speed this along
and now we can configure bits and pieces so i'm going to leave the hard drive as it is this is
absolutely fine so let's just go into some more options here the hardware so for example we can
change this analysis for this max we can use five cpus eight gigabytes of ram or anything else we
can do that we can actually change this um if we wanted to oh at least i thought i could there
we go so i'm going to actually say i want to use six processors and out of my 16 gigabytes of ram
i'm actually going to allocate eight gigabytes of it in fact let's turn that let's go to 10
gigabytes and then with the graphics uh we can choose basically if we want to scale best return
and that kind of bits and pieces so i'm going to leave it as scaled as probably the best option for
that so with everything else i'm absolutely fine so i'm just going to lock that padlock
close it down and there we go six cpus 10 um memory on that one so i think we're all
good to go so in fact i thought i just changed those cores actually let me just change that again
i swear i use more so i'm just gonna put my password back in did i actually say i
wanted more no i couldn't i can only go up to a maximum of six cores anyway um with this uh m1
pro with ten cores inside it but then mine we're going to click continue i'm happy with that with
this oh it says it can't start with more than eight gigabytes of memory let's change around
learning curve here guys so let's go with eight then six chords is that going to make it happy
that's made it happy there we go it says someone let's use my uh webcam i'm fine with that my
microphone bluetooth and everything else it's gonna need access to it's more happier now so
there we go guys learning lesson there you cannot change the ram up to more it won't allow me even
though this machine has 16 gigabytes of ram as i showed you it's also got 10 uh cores inside
it i'm guessing it's keeping those efficiency cores i guess on the actual macbook pro for mac
os and it's keeping two of the actual performance calls as well so fingers crossed that uh six out
of the eight uh performance calls i've gone over to windows 11 here so we're just going to let this
run this is all looking good so far so i'm going to let this boot up now and get to the main page
and there we go we've loaded up oh there we go even says it installation complete
let's click to continue so this looks promising it's asking me to sign in to
parallels account i'm just going to sign into this very very quickly just bear with me
there we go i'm all signed in and it's flicked to full screen straight away it even says enter full
screen for games press control alt to access the docker menu bar so i might actually do that just
to show you guys so i'm just going to control it and alt together if it does it oh there we
go so we do actually have it here the bar at the top so there we go we can see that we're
inside and just to show you again this is me on my apple m1 pro on this one the 14 inch macbook pro
running windows 11 as a virtual machine so there are some updates that need to run onto
this machine i'm going to leave that go but i thought i'd just show you quickly we'll do a
quick about this machine if we can my mouse is really quick so that's the first thing actually
i will change because it is super fast i'm just going to go down to the search here
type in mouse and i'm going to change the speed of that to a little bit more slower
that's a bit more better and then something else what we're also going to do we're just going to
do about this machine as well so if i just type in about about your pc and there we go if we come
down here we have apple silicon 3.2 gigahertz six cores that we set up eight gigabytes of ram
everything that seems to be working really really well on this it even says citizen parallels arm
virtual machine it recognizes everything we've got settings here for gaming apps and everything
like that everything seems to be working fine but on the internet already so you know if i can just
wanted to i could go to youtube do a search there this is in good old-fashioned microsoft
edge probably not the best thing in the world i'm going to agree to the settings there
but yeah you can see that's working and loading absolutely fine so let's see what else we've got
on here so i actually had to play around with windows 11 yet so the new start button is really
cool it's now in the middle and everything comes up here these are your sort of well
used or pinned apps we've got we've got all apps here's the traditional kind of feed here
so that seems all really really cool here it looks like it's a much more watered down version
of windows 10 as well we've also got my mac files here so i can access this for icloud things like
this it's really good that parallels have linked those we've got updates pending and everything
so yeah this looks really good this uh windows 11. like i said what i want to plan to do with this
windows 11 uh sort of pro insider preview what you can see down here is install some games on
it test that out also put on office as well just to show you guys uh also do a benchmark in fact
let's actually run a benchmark actually actually that's what i will do i will run a benchmark here
with my six cores and eight gigabytes of ram so let me just go and download geekbench five
so just in case you were wondering there's been no additional drivers that need to install
anything parallels 17 has got everything built in for these m1 m1 pros and also m1 max
chipsets everything has just been working fine i've had noises i've had sounds you can even see
here i've got my volume and everything nothing's blocked out or grayed out everything seems
absolutely fine so i'm just loading up geekbench 5 on the tryout now for the first time
and then we're going to see how good of a geekbench score we're going to get on this machine
uh it's asking for a license i don't have one but i'm just going to run
a cpu benchmark on arc 64. so let's leave this run and then at the end let's see what the score is
so let's just do a quick pause from windows 11 for the giveaway what we're doing on this channel
and it's for this it is for an iphone 13 pro max and i'm going to be giving this away to one lucky
subscriber when we get over 300 000 subscribers and it's not that far away from now and all i
want to know from you guys in the comments below is what apple equipment are you planning to buy or
what technology equipment are you planning to buy within the next year write it down in the comments
below and when we get over 300 000 subscribers and only when we get over 300 000 subscribers i'll be
making a video revealing who the winner is so make sure that you subscribe to this channel and hit
that notification bell because you want to get that notification of when that video comes live
now i will quickly just say this sadly there are some scammers spammers out there who are
pretending to be me using kind of my picture and saying what's at me you've won a prize and all of
this ignore them they're spammers they're scammers like i said i'll be only revealing who the winner
is by doing a video and basically making sure that you're getting that notification for
that video well guys let's go back now to windows 11 on this macbook pro 14-inch model
so the geekbench is actually finished that's quite funny actually with the six cores it's come out
at 7069 that is about the power of a macbook pro intel i9 without actually dedicating any core so
this is the one with the eight core cpu the last 16 inch macbook pro the most highest spec cpu and
the single core score is around about the same as what we get right now with the single core for the
actual m1 and m1 pro max every so you can see the chords have been completely shared over so it's
absolutely amazing to get this kind of sort of scoring on a kind of a parallel sort of virtual
machine that we have right here so yeah i'm really really um impressed with that and you can even see
here apple silicon six cores six processors eight gigabytes of ram that is really really impressive
in what it has given back on us here so yeah really really pleased with that uh like i said
guys this video was just kind of a kind of a demo just to show you how to install windows 11 uh you
can install apps and things like this like i've just done there with geekbench so you can install
office if you wanted to on this and you can store other things and like i said in the near future i
will be making a video very soon with this windows 11 image right here where i'll be installing some
games and testing them out to see what the graphics capability are with those six cores
what you just saw on that geekbench but for now yeah this is a windows 11 pro insider preview
running on the macbook pro with an m1 pro chipset inside it so what we've got to remember here is
that windows 11 is still in its early stages you know at the time of making this video windows 11
is not even out yet an arm 64 version is even more of a beta than the x86 for sort of amd and
sort of intel chipsets out there it's more of a beta kind of release it's much more buggy to
be deadly honest but i'm sure with the likes of the rise of kind of arm 64 chipsets like the m1
m1 pro and m1 max windows and microsoft will be working more on it to make windows 11 more stable
and better but the main thing is what we can see here windows 11 will run on an m1
or m1 pro and m1 max kind of macbook pro out there and it's looking really good and looking
really promising well guys it's time to also wrap up this video so if you have
enjoyed watching it please do press the like button and also at the same time as well if
you want to hear the latest apple news reviews and comparisons please also hit that subscribe button
