> Is installing Parallels and doing what you stated above complicated? Any pointers?

I wrote kind of a tutorial in the [How to support...](https://resource.dopus.com/t/how-to-support-windows-on-arm-platform/54701) thread.

Parallels has automatic installation option including Windows ISO download which should be easy.  
I chose manual installation option for reasons mentioned in [ARM support](https://resource.dopus.com/t/arm-support/55359/2) thread.

It seems I had luck with acquiring a perpetual license for Parallels Desktop 20 Pro Edition: This isn't offered on the Parallels website, and is no longer available from the selected retailer.

I want to install only native software in the virtual machine, as well as on the macOS host system, so I would wait for native ARM version of DO.  
But if you need it, emulation seems to work well in many cases.
