After having my old Fusion 11.5 / Intel x86 Windows virtual machines in stasis for the past year or so, I bit the bullet & bought Fusion 13 Player for my MB Pro 16" M1 Pro laptop.
I read the "Fusion 13 For Apple Silicon Companion, v4" document -- thank you very much.
I understand that if I jump through some hoops I can get a recent version of Windows 11, compiled for ARM, running under Fusion 13 on my M1-powered MacBook.
I also understand that said Windows 11-ARM environment will run most or all of the old executables/binaries that I intend to copy over from my Windows 10 x86 virtual machine -- via an x86 emulation layer built into Windows 11 ARM.
How well can I expect the USB 2.0 / 3.0 emulation & serial port/TTY emulation under Windows 11 ARM-running-under-Fusion 13 to work?
I have a series of low-data-rate datalogging apps (for things like air quality sensors, temperature, etc.) which are only available as x86 binaries. I emphasize that these are pretty undemanding -- none of them streams data at much over a few 10s or 100s of kilobits per second. (Kbit/sec.) Not talking about audio-mixing or anything really latency-sensitive here, just general TTY/UART/RS232 comms.
Are they likely to be able to continue to run smoothly & interact well with the USB 2.0/3.0 and serial port (UART) emulation in Windows 11 ARM?
Regards & thanks
