When Apple switched from its proprietary PowerPC hardware to Intel-based Macs in 2005, one of the biggest advantages was that Macs could run Windows natively, either as a primary operating system or dual-booting via BootCamp. When Apple once again switched to its own ARM-based M chips<\/a> a few years ago, that option disappeared<\/a>. While you can still virtualize Windows on the newest Macs, it\u2019s more of a headache. Today, Microsoft has posted a guide to make it slightly easier. <\/p>\n

\u201cGuide\u201d might be a little generous. As Digital Trends noticed, it\u2019s a short support page<\/a> outlining your options for running Windows 11 on a newer Mac laptop or desktop with Apple Silicon guts. Microsoft lays out its two options: Virtualizing the ARM version of Windows 11<\/a> via the third-party program Parallels Desktop or using a Windows 365 Cloud PC<\/a>, an add-on service only available to corporate Windows 365 customers. <\/p>\n

Microsoft is pretty clear that either way isn\u2019t ideal. The ARM-based Windows 11 build doesn\u2019t get access to DirectX 12, Android or Linux app support, the new Windows Sandbox, or older 32-bit Windows applications. But this is still the first time that Microsoft has indicated that it will at least grudgingly support customers who want to run Windows on any of the newer Mac hardware. <\/p>\n
