So you probably would be able to achieve equal or better performance than your existing Mac Pro.Īnother possibility, build a hackintosh PC capable of running El Capitan. But you will be able to use Parallels to run your El Capitan installation as a true virtual machine on the Intel hardware, no CPU architecture emulation required. You won’t be able to boot El Capitan directly on a newer Intel Mac because El Cap lacks the drivers to support the newer Mac hardware. Or a recent Intel iMac or Mac Mini or something pretty high end. You can use the built-in remote desktop features of Mac OS to connect to your existing Mac Pro and use your current apps alongside the new M1 Mac.Īnother idea is you get the current 2019 Intel Mac Pro (maybe a used one from someone trading up). My advice would be to keep your Mac Pro that you like, and when you get a new Apple Silicon Mac someday to treat it as a brand new system. UTM also doesn’t emulate GPUs as I understand, so you’d be limited to CPU rendering and very basic GPU abilities. VirtualPC back in the PowerPC days was very slow, I wouldn’t have high hopes that UTM on an M1 Mac would be as good or better than the performance you’re used to. I haven’t used UTM so I can’t speak to its performance. Theoretically with UTM you could emulate your Xeon Mac Pro system on an M1 Mac and run your existing El Capitan installation in a virtual machine similar to Parallels. It won’t help you use older OSes or older apps that are incompatible with Big Sur+.įortunately there is an emulator available called QEMU and a Mac app called UTM that lets you emulate x86 Intel chips on an M1 Mac or even on iOS. ![]() That’s kind of what Rosetta 2 does, however Rosetta 2 will only let you run a Big Sur or Monterey-compatible Intel app in Big Sur or Monterey on M1. That kind of CPU architecture emulation is what you’d have to do to run the Intel-only Mac OS 10.11 and all your Intel-only software. System Requirements: 64-bit capable Intel® Mac (Compatible with Core 2 Duo, Xeon, i3, i5, i7 processors or better).Minimum 4GB of RAM.750MB free disk space for VMware Fusion and at least 5GB for each virtual machine.I bet you probably remember VirtualPC from back in the PowerPC Mac days, that emulated an x86 Intel CPU so you could run Windows XP on your Mac. SnapshotsWith VMware Fusion Pro you can use Snapshots to create a ‘rollback point’ to revert to on-the-fly.Easily interact with Windows apps using Mac shortcuts and intuitive gestures. ![]()
