MBP x86 Software

[MrBaker89]

Good Afternoon All, 

 

Hope you're well. 

 

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong group.

 

I am looking at a MBP for work, all of the applications I use has an ARM version apart from 1. I reached out to them and got the following response:

 

x86 supplied in updates is the only version of Khaos Control that we do provide.

 

There is no Windows ARM or x64 version.

 

My question is, is there another way to run it as it will not run through Windows on Parallels. 

 

TIA.

It should run just fine on ARM Windows, that has both 32 and 64bit intel emulation.

Using Rosetta 2, you can run modern apple software written for MacOS on x86.

 

This is a solution that is intended for software that will be rewritten for Apple silicon soon, as Rosetta 2 will not be a forever solution.

It seems to be a Windows only application.

Thank you for your reply. 

 

I'm sorry if I have misunderstood your reply. It is not a piece of Apple software it is the following: https://www.khaoscontrol.com/sales-order-management-software/ 

 

Are you saying that I can run that software through Rosetta 2?

Yes it will work though Parralles VM, you can even run some Windows x86 Games this way but keep in mind that you battery will go down quick while running the windows VM so its not a perfect solution

Thank you! 

 

It will be plugged in at work when using it so battery drain is not much of an issue.

Really though, you can make your experience smoother and more certain by just buying a Windows laptop.

But I love the MBP. Windows 11 actually ran smoother on my friends MBP using Parallels than my similar spec work laptop.
