Windows on Apple Silicon UTM

Purpose

Installing windows 10 via UTM on apple silicon.

Motivation

Some of our equipment can't be fully configured without windows (e.g., victron, wakespeed). In the past we used virtualbox but they no longer, and will probably never, support apple silicon.

Steps

This page has the instructions we followed.

You need the arm64 build for apple silicon.
Mind the troubleshooting section regarding file permissions and brew. I did NOT install brew under rosetta as I already had brew installed. I just went ahead and ran:

brew tap sidneys/homebrew
brew install aria2 cabextract wimlib cdrtools sidneys/homebrew/chntpw

This gave me no problems.

I selected 4 cores, 4GB RAM, and 64GB HD.

When prompted for a key, I clicked that I did not have one.

During guided windows setup, I clicked "I don't have internet" since guest tools were not yet installed.

USB pass through is not yet tested.
