    Kaliyne I have tried running x86 version of windows 7, windows server 2012 R2 with UTM. It is running fine in x86 in emulator mode on an ARM CPU but it's really laggy. I gave up eventually and now try to run on cloud server for dev purposes instead.

    I have trying installing different versions for Servers 2019 and 2022. They don’t support ARM based x64.

    A virtual machine is not an emulator

    your apple mx cpu is arm based and can only run virtual machines that use arm architecture, you need to get arm based isos though microsoft does not make any arm based server operating systems

     

    and they don't sell arm based windows versions to end users at all, they have a developer version for arm on win10 and win11
