How to install Windows 10 on M1 Mac - Full Tutorial using UTM app

[@conath]

Click “Show More” in the video description for the download links! Are you using an Intel Mac and want to install Windows 10 in UTM? You can still follow the video tutorial, with two changes: During Step 5 (2:56): after you’ve downloaded and opened the UTM file, check the amount of Memory your Intel Mac has and change the Memory for the VM to half of your Mac’s Memory (like shown in the video). Then, on the same page as the Memory slider (3:14), change the System to “Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (pc-q35-2.9)”. Next, click Show Advanced Settings and change the number of CPU Cores to 0 Cores. Click Save and then keep following the video instructions until 5:58. During Step 6: The other difference is, do not install the QXLDOD driver like shown at 6:36 in the video. Just skip that and only install the SMBUS (5:58) and VIOSTOR (6:51) drivers. After 7:04 the rest of the steps is the same for Intel and M1 Mac! Enjoy!

Why would anyone do that? (Bootcamp).

if i already installed the QXLDOD driver is there a way to uninstall or what should i do?

its pretty painfully slow, hopefully someone has a solution (intel mac 8GB big sur)

At 6:30 I get an error message from the installer: "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK." I had downloaded the newer 240 version of virtio. When I went back and downloaded the 190 version that you are using, it worked fine.

Just so you know, this is x86 Windows 10, that means the UTM quite literally emulates the entire operating system, that means performance will be very bad. If you want Win10 on your M1 Mac, but want speed too just install Win10 or Win11 ARM (not x86).
