Can I use microsoft access on macbook M1?

Hello! According to Microsoft latest update said — they’re support office 365 run on mac, but I’m not sure about MS access. Is it in office 365 too? Can I use MS access on macbook chip M1? And if I can’t, Is there any solution to help me use MS access on Mac chip M1? Thank you for your kindness!

I have run into the same issue, need it desperately. The ONLY way at the moment is to log in to a Windows Remote Desktop which is not a long term solution. You could try getting a Windows 11 Insider Build and run it on a vm - parallels is the only vm supporting the M1 atm, but that's no option if you're looking for a reliable system. The alternative would be...well...looking for alternatives to Access.

@destear: I'm assuming you mean with "reliable system" not one that is based on Windows 11 Insider Build. I would agree. But then why not install Windows 10?

I have tested it with windows 11 on a M1 macbook in parallels but Access 2016 only reports an error when you try to start it.

There is no version of Microsoft Access for MACs, not Linux, ... It is only available for PCs.

As for workarounds, refer to
