IIS not available on Windows 11 ARM Preview

Hi,

 

I just installed Windows 11 ARM Preview on my Macbook Pro (M1 chipset) where I want to install Internet Information Server (IIS) but option is not available. 

 

Can i know any version of windows 10 or 11 that can be installed on M1 where I can have full windows features like IIS , Sql Server.

 

Urgently waiting for reply.

 

Regards

Zafar Ullah

  • Just dropping by to see if a solution for this has come out. Are we waiting for IIS support yet?

      Today is the day!!! Microsoft finally came through and delivered IIS support on the Windows 11 *Preview* version for ARM, build 22563.1. We can now fully develop .NET / SQL Server applications on newer Macbook Pro's with M1 chips. Just check for Windows updates in the Preview channel, then after updating and rebooting, you will see the familiar IIS options in the Turn Windows Features On / Off dialog.

    Hello, Currently the Windows 11 ARM is not supported to run on M1 chips. Win11 ARM only supported by Microsoft to run on certain Qualcomm ARM chips.

    Were you able to figure this out? I'm running into the same issue.

        Microsoft should really prioritize this... More and more devs are upgrading to Macbook Pro's with M1 chips, and that includes .NET devs. Switching to inferior Windows laptops isn't a good solution. With Parallels and Windows 11 for ARM preview, Visual Studio and SSMS run fine. The only blocker that I've run into this, not being able to install IIS.
