ESO on M1 w/Parallels Win 11

Out of curiosity, has anyone gotten ESO to work recently with Parallels 17 if using one of the new M1 Macs and running Win 11?

I ask because Microsoft seems to have retired ARM on Win 10 and no longer offers the ISO for download. However Win 11 doesn't seem compatible with ESO due to some Visual C++ issues (or at least not in a VM environment). I've been unable to get the client to load even after trying all the usual fixes dating back 4 years on reddit, so just wanted a sense check if it's just me.

    Worked fine for me. 2020 MBP with M1 and 16GB of Ram. 4 cores and 8GB of Ram dedicated to the Win11 VM in parallels 17 (half of the resources as recommended by parallels).

    I stopped using it after the recent patch fixed the crash issues I was having with the Mac client. Oddly, the game ran much smoother and held better graphics settings in the VM than natively in the Mac client. But my Macbook got VERY hot, so I didn't like to use it much. Not sure if parallels wasn't keeping track of CPU temp or something, but overall it worked pretty good.
