On Apple Silicon, Windows 11 ARM running in the Parallels Desktop VM can use either the SierraChart_64.exe or the SierraChart_ARM64.exe. The x86 instructions get translated to ARM instructions by Windows when running the _64 version, so there is less overhead using the ARM version. However, you may may need the x64 version for custom studies that have not been built for the ARM chip.. I have tested Crossover, Fusion, and Parallels on my Mac M4 Mini. Parallels seems to be the most popular option based on other users' posts. |
