Hey Andy,

I hope you are well.

Your post prompted me to sign up to the forum! I just upgraded to a M1 Macbook Air with 16 GB and a 1 TB SSD and I have to agree with you it is the best machine I have owned as well!!

I am disabled and was terribly disappointed to find out (after my purchase, I should have checked before!) that Parallels and Dragon wouldnt work on a silicon mac

Finding your post was greatly reassuring

I wanted to ask whether you can control the mac using Dragon on the Parallels, perhaps in coherence mode?

I look forward to hearing back, I have my fingers crossed!

James

Hi James, see my post of today (1 December). Also see my caveats about downloading and sound.

I am having no trouble at all with:

M1 Macbook Pro

Parallels 17

Windows 11 for ARM chip (you have to download their ARM Beta version)

DPI 15 (latest version)

It's all working perfectly.

Yes, I know, windows 11 for ARM is Beta, Nuance haven't yet approved DPI for windows 11, things may change, it may all end in tears, etc etc. But people have been saying that to me since 2008 when I first started using Dragon for PC in a virtual environment on my Mac. So I'll stay optimistic for now.

Tom
