UTM (which is powered by QEMU) is a free download (although it costs something if you get it from the Mac App Store instead of the website directly), and supports a lot more than just virtualizing macOS instances or emulating x86 architecture. Getting UTM + virtualizing “Windows on ARM” I researched this situation a bit, and found that UTM was a great way to run an ARM-supported version of Windows, but I still had the hope to access my prior Windows x86 installation from VirtualBox so that I could grab any files and software configurations that I still needed from there. The ARM architecture of Apple silicon couldn't simply be “partitioned” or shared with a virtualized software system that was expecting access to real x86 hardware. However, since VirtualBox is a hypervisor, I couldn't simply run my x86 Virtual Machines this way anymore. One of the pieces of software I used on my machine rarely but intentionally was VirtualBox, a virtualization product that can be used to run additional operating systems on your Intel-based Mac (or other x86 machine) such as Microsoft Windows. I recommend Jamie Bainbridge's advice above.Before I switched to a 2021 MacBook Pro with the M1 Max ( Apple silicon using the ARM architecture), I was on an older Intel-based ( x86) MacBook Pro like everyone else using otherwise recent Mac hardware. VMware products are obviously made by VMware, and it is best to address VMware product concerns with VMware, perhaps in their forums. People can certainly reply to this thread, however, Red Hat does not maintain Oracle VirtualBox. Please let Oracle know your request for update. It is up to Oracle to decide to dedicate time/resources etc to make VirtualBox work with non-intel Apple hardware. Note: Virtualbox is made by Oracle (originally Sun Microsystems, which Oracle bought a long while ago). For VMware products, see VMware discussions it seems they intend at some point to make it work with non-intel apple hardware also see this please consult the VMware community and website.Oracle Virtualbox discussion forum for Mac OSX.Please see this article saying why non-intel macs cannot currently run Virtualbox.

Please see replies by Oracle Virtualbox forums.
