Windows Server 2025 arm64

Will there be an official release of Windows Server 2025 arm64? If so when? The last Canary Cannel release worked fine on a M1 (or higher) Apple computer with the use of Parallels.

Hello, and thank you for your interest to Windows Server.

Unfortunately, Windows Server 2025 is not available for ARM64, and there are currently no plans for that. If you are interested in running Windows on ARM64, then Windows 11 is the best option.

May I ask you why you are interested in running Windows Server on ARM64?
