One potential ARM64 Server Scenario (as well as client Scenario) would be support for installing on M1, M2, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, etc Apple Silicone Chipsets. As Microsoft should always be interested in increasing market saturation and revenue, granted Microsoft has stated it has provided all the technical specifications to Apple in hopes that they would develop the rest of the code needed to run ARM64 based Microsoft OS's, Apple would have zero financial incentive for developing and deploying this additional needed code. It would be most useful in Network Architechtures that use both types of machines. Microsoft developing the rest of the needed code, would increase it's products' usefulness and thus increase both saturation and revenue. Whether anyone likes it or not, this looks to be a more frequent scenario for Network Engineers to have to deal with just based on the current market trends.

Yup! Exactly what I am working on. I am installing Windows 11 ARM on M2 using Parallels and it works great. But, I would like to install Windows server the same way but MS has not produced a Windows server ARM which is killing me 😕
There is a lot of potential here if this happens.

Hi jtorres955,
Thanks for sharing your scenario for Windows Server on Arm. We are evaluating Windows Server on Arm opportunity but do not have any plans to release Windows Server on Arm in near future.
