The 22H2 update to the VMware Fusion Tech Preview also brings graphics enhancements with 2D graphics drivers for Windows on ARM VMs. Additionally, VMware’s virtual TPM 2.0 module can now auto-generate a password for the user, using the local keychain to store the encryption key. Fast Encryption can improve VM performance by only encrypting the files needed to support a TPM. To support the minimum Windows 11 requirements, VMware has improved its virtual TPM 2.0 module with support for a ‘fast encyrption’ mode. Many new enhancements and capabilities came together to bring Windows 11 to the Mac desktop with Fusion, and while they were designed with Windows 11 in mind, the tools can be used for other VMs as well,” explained Michael Roy, Product Line Manager at VMware. “While it is a little early, and things on Apple silicon don’t always behave like we’re used to on Intel, we’re thrilled to be able to share the work we’ve been doing to prepare support for Windows 11 virtual machines on Fusion, for both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. Additionally, this VMware Fusion Tech Preview also improves Linux support on Apple Silicon Macs. This free public release brings support for Windows 11 on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, something that Parallels Desktop for Mac pioneered last year. ![]() You can then do the normal macOS installer stuff to get Monterey installed.Īnd, at the end, if it all worked out, you should be at Setup Assistant, and able to start customizing and using macOS Monterey.VMware has released this week the Fusion 22H2 Tech Preview for Mac users.

Then click Connect Install macOS Monterey. Click the option at the top to select a USB drive to connect. Once your setup of the custom virtual machine is done, go ahead and click the play button to start up your virtual machine. Then go ahead and create a new virtual disk. Then, instead of dragging the installer to Install from disc or image, select Create a custom virtual machine.Īt the moment, you can’t select macOS 12, so just select macOS 11 as a placeholder. Then leave that USB drive connected to the Mac you’re trying to create the Monterey VM in. ![]() You’ll see that VMware Fusion is “able to create the installation medium.”Ĭreate a bootable USB of the Monterey installer by following the instructions in How to create a bootable installer for macOS. …except for the fact you can’t select macOS 12 as an option.

If it doesn’t work for you, I probably don’t know any better than you do why that’s the case. I’m sharing only a more detailed step-by-step guide of a summary I read, and this is only what worked for me. Hopefully, these instructions will be obsolete soon in a future update of VMware Fusion (where you can just select macOS 12, drag the installer to the install wizard, and have VMware Fusion do everything for you).These are just more fleshed out steps from a brief overview in the VMware Fusion communities online forums. ![]()
