I took a crack at this when I got my M1 back in December and got nowhere, but now I have progress.
TL;DR it doesn't work yet, though.
I've been working to get Windows x86 to stand up on UTM (which I gather is really just a fancy frontend to QEMU). I'll write things up better when I have something real to show for it, but so far:
I can't get it to install Win11 x86, because it seems to insist there's an architecture mismatch. I suspect this is an error on my end, since it was the first thing I tried and I may have misunderstood some of the config.
I did get it to boot and install Win10 x86. However, when I rebooted after install, Windows gets angry about not being able to find the "Desktop" for the user, and kind of loses its mind. This is also possible my error somewhere, but I haven't gone back to figure it out.
I'm not super optimistic about this, since ultimately it'll be running emulated, not under virtualization. So speed is likely to be not great. But it's at least a potential way forward and if somebody else wants to give it a shot, UTM may be an option.
Do you managed to get this working? I'm not looking at LabView but 488.2 drivers, that are not available for windows arm, just x86, I was thinking in running QEMU/UTM to get x86 windows and use usb passthrough to get NI software in this ""VM"".
