@mickeycee Also note that your old Intel based VMs will not and will never run on your M1 Mac. You’ll need to build new VMs with arm64 architecture operating systems.

  • Arm64 Linux distributions will run - you’ll have the best luck with those noted in the guide
  • Windows 11 on ARM Insider Preview will work but is unsupported and no VMware Tools (because Microsoft doesn’t sell or support Windows on M1). Lots of info in this board about getting it running. 
  • no MacOS VMs of any version will run. 

Suggest you review the Tech Preview testing guide that has important info about using the release.
