This tutorial is about the regular "Intel/AMD" aka x86_64 version of Windows 10, not the Windows on ARM preview version. This means the UTM app will emulate a full x86 computer on your M1 Mac and run any Windows 10 app, as long as it doesn't need 3D graphics. The performance is reduced, as you can see in this demo: • Windows 10 x64 on M1 M...

Are you using an Intel Mac and want to install Windows 10 in UTM? You can still follow the video tutorial, with two changes:
During Step 5 (2:56): after you’ve downloaded and opened the UTM file, check the amount of Memory your Intel Mac has and change the Memory for the VM to half of your Mac’s Memory (like shown in the video). Then, on the same page as the Memory slider (3:14), change the System to “Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (pc-q35-2.9)”. Next, click Show Advanced Settings and change the number of CPU Cores to 0 Cores. Click Save and then keep following the video instructions until 5:58.
During Step 6: The other difference is, do not install the QXLDOD driver like shown at 6:36 in the video. Just skip that and only install the SMBUS (5:58) and VIOSTOR (6:51) drivers. After 7:04 the rest of the steps is the same for Intel and M1 Mac!
Enjoy!
