Parallels and VMWare only work with x86 Windows on ARM, not x86 on M1. VirtualBox doesn't support M1 at all. It's not a big deal missing out compared to those tools that have direct hardware access.

VMware isn't providing active assistance for Windows virtualization on Apple Silicon (ARM). They're focusing on Linux support instead. Parallels appears to allow running 'Windows on ARM' versions in their newest release. However, this is significantly different from a standard Windows installation. Regarding Virtual Box, Roswell has stated it's not compatible. If you require regular x86/x64 Windows in a virtual environment, it's best to use a Mac with an Intel processor at the moment.

An alternative method involves QEMU (this tool enables emulation of various platforms on different hardware, though at a significant pace). For instance, I successfully executed Mac OS X Tiger on a PowerPC system using an Intel processor.
