When microsoft will announce support for M1 cpu on SQL Server? 

M1 apple's CPU is the best selling cpu worldwide and we can use it with parallels side by side with apple's macosx.

Ok! Nobody knows. But who can i ask? Is there a microsoft developer? Where can i find them?

@Kostas_Papadopoulos While it's not officially supported, it can be installed and the basic functionality is working. You have to install it using a script that I've created: https://github.com/jimm98y/MSSQLEXPRESS-M1-Install

My guess: Never. SQL Server is a Windows service and only supported on x64 processors.
