Furthermore, VMware Fusion 13 continues to support eGPU devices for increased graphics performance.įor the Arm version, VMware Tools supports new virtual graphics and networking functionality. In terms of graphics, the Intel version offers support for OpenGL 4.3 in Windows and Linux VMs. This allows host-guest interactions like drag & drop, copy & paste, folder sharing and USB/Camera device passthrough. Windows 11 has full support for VMware Tools on Intel-based Macs. VMware Fusion 13 introduces various features for Intel- and Arm-based Macs. Users can configure a password or have one automatically generated by the VM. Furthermore, encryption passwords are stored in the keychains of Macs, meaning passwords don’t have to be input every time the VM is started. This makes the encryption performant and secure. The encryption method only encrypts the parts of VMs that support the TPM. It stores contents in an encrypted section of VM files to provide a secure enclave.Ī new encryption method was added to support the TPM. The TPM is recognized as a validated TPM and can be added to any VM. Support for Windows 11 virtual machines (VMs) is made possible by a new virtual Trusted Platform Module (2.0).

This should make it easier to run Windows 11 on Apple Silicon-based laptops and PCs. VMware announced that the introduction of VMware Fusion 13 and VMware Fusion Pro Player provides Windows 11 support for both Intel-based and Arm-based Apple Silicon processors. The latest version of VMware’s virtualization software for Apple Fusion introduces support for Arm-based Mac devices.
