Hi everyone,
I am unable to access the Blue Prism Foundation training environment as a Mac M1 user. I wanted to update the community on what I have tried since then, in case anyone has faced the same issues or has a solution.
Here is where I am:
1. The Microsoft Azure free trial on the Digital Exchange returns a 404 error and is no longer available on the Azure Marketplace.
2. I tried downloading VMware Fusion Pro via Broadcom.com as an alternative, but their portal was undergoing maintenance and the download section returned no results.
3. I then tried UTM — a free virtual machine app for Mac M1. I downloaded the Windows 11 ARM64 ISO directly from Microsoft and set up a VM. However, the Windows installation keeps freezing during the process — first at 23%, then at 20% on a second attempt — and ultimately fails both times.
I am now in a very tight spot as I have a deadline of the 25th to complete the Foundation course and submit my mini project.
Has anyone successfully installed Windows 11 ARM64 via UTM on an M1 Mac to run Blue Prism? Or is there another approach entirely that I am missing?
Any help would be genuinely appreciated — I am running out of options and time!
Thanks in advance.
