I'm curious why I would want to dual boot Windows when there's a perfectly good hypervisor and paravirtualization built into macOS?

Arm-based windows support via Parallels does work, but AFAICT there's no official way to buy a Windows license due to a Microsoft/Qualcomm partnership.

You can buy an ARM Windows license for parallels on Mac now. It works quite well.

I think WoA used to be exclusive to Qualcomm, but that hasn’t been true for at least a couple years, maybe longer.

No RAM, CPU, or disk overhead.
