Default Mackbook Air - 2020 - Big Sur Running PT 2018?.

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can help?.

So, given that the latest version of PT isn't yet fully supported on Big Sur with the M1 chip, could I in theory, install an older versions of PT on my new MacBook Air 2020?.

Namely PT 2018, which I'm currently running on my Desktop iMac.
Anyone tried this and had any success?.

Appreciate any and all feedback on this. Many thanks
Pete Morten

No version of Protools is certified to work with the M1 (new or old versions). That is not to say it worn't work, but not certified. If I were you, I would go with Protools 2021.3 since it is at least certified to work with Big Sur (previous version or Protools are not certified with Big Sur). There are some folks that have it running fine. I recall one problem for someone trying to use it with Protools Ultimate with an HDX card because the driver for the HDX card is not available for Big Sur yet.
