How to run Windows on Mac

We're going to run Windows 11 IoT (ARM) on Mac M1 (ARM) using the native binary translation, thanks to up-to-date version of qemu which has native hardware support.

Prerequisites

Install qemu and required tools (coreutils - we need truncate/gtruncate, dd/gdd CLI tools, samba - to share files between host and guest VM).

$ brew install qemu coreutils samba

Running Third Party Kernel Extensions on Virtualization Framework macOS Guest VMs

As of macOS 12 (Monterey), Apple's Virtualization framework has nice support for macOS guest virtual machines, but with severe limitations: For example you can't install a macOS guest on Intel Macs, install guests with newer versions of macOS than the host, copy and paste between the host and the guest, or install third party kernel extensions in the guest. As usual for Apple, the functionality they do support is nicely implemented, but they've left out so much that the result is only marginally useful -- at least compared to
