Hi Team,

As per the following support article, it seems that VM provided in the LSA mission is based on the (Intel-based) X86 machine architecture and if we are using a Mac with the M1 or M2 chips, we will not be able to run the VM - in any VM Player.

Please help me find an alternate way possible to overcome this. Thank you!

@Abhinav_Chaudhary as per the forum post you reference:

-------------------------------

The VM provided in the LSA mission is based on the (Intel-based) X86 machine architecture. If you are using a Mac with the M1 or M2 chips, you will not be able to run the VM - in any VM Player.

There is no workaround, as you cannot convert the OVA directly.

@MarijeSchillernI understand that OVA way will not work. Please let me know apart from OVA, what other workaround I can use to appear for LSA exam.
