Mac users will be able to adjust display settings and run their VMs in 4K and higher resolutions. The 22H2 update to the VMware Fusion Tech Preview also brings graphics enhancements with 2D graphics drivers for Windows on ARM VMs. Additionally, VMware’s virtual TPM 2.0 module can now auto-generate a password for the user, using the local keychain to store the encryption key.

Fast Encryption can improve VM performance by only encrypting the files needed to support a TPM.

To support the minimum Windows 11 requirements, VMware has improved its virtual TPM 2.0 module with support for a ‘fast encyrption’ mode. Many new enhancements and capabilities came together to bring Windows 11 to the Mac desktop with Fusion, and while they were designed with Windows 11 in mind, the tools can be used for other VMs as well,” explained Michael Roy, Product Line Manager at VMware. “While it is a little early, and things on Apple silicon don’t always behave like we’re used to on Intel, we’re thrilled to be able to share the work we’ve been doing to prepare support for Windows 11 virtual machines on Fusion, for both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. Additionally, this VMware Fusion Tech Preview also improves Linux support on Apple Silicon Macs. This free public release brings support for Windows 11 on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, something that Parallels Desktop for Mac pioneered last year. VMware has released this week the Fusion 22H2 Tech Preview for Mac users.
