You can also make Windows full screen, so it looks like your Mac is running Windows by its lonesome. Software emulating giant Parallels has launched a version of their Parallels Desktop for Mac that allows M1 Macs to run Windows.Ĭalled Parallels Desktop 17, this emulation software – and industry-standard – is an application that allows you to laugh it and run Windows inside of macOS right on your desktop. However, there is some good news for Mac users who also want to run Windows on the same computer (usually this is for work purposes).
Hence, no Bootcamp and no running native Windows on your M1 Mac. M1 Macs can’t natively run Windows for one good reason: an M1 Mac is based on ARM architecture and Apple hasn’t made an ARM Bootcamp app available yet.
Yet this doesn’t have to do with any ill will on Apple’s part or any kind of conflict between Apple and Microsoft. (It would be noted that Bootcamp or the Mac didn’t include a copy of Windows – you still needed to buy that yourself.)īut when Apple introduced the first M1 Macs last year, Bootcamp was notably absent. That is, you could either boot up into macOS or boot up natively into Windows. Bootcamp turned your Mac into a dual-boot machine. This is because all Intel Macs came with software called Bootcamp. Let me explain… Why Can’t M1 Macs Run Windows Natively? Pin Image: Parallelsįor over a decade, if you’ve had an Intel-based Mac, you could also run Windows natively on that Mac. This comes down to the fact that the M1 Mac does not offer dual booting via Bootcamp. However, the M1 chip has one big drawback when compared to Intel chips: M1 Macs cannot natively run Windows. There much more power-efficient, they are capable of running natively-written apps 2-2x faster than on an Intel Mac, and they can even run iOS natively. The M1 chip has some HUGE advantages over the Intel chips found in Macs of old. They’re also some of the fastest consumer-grade computers of any variety that you can buy thanks to Apple’s custom Silicon inside, the M1 chip. The M1 Macs are the hottest computers on the planet. Looking to run Windows on M1 Macs? We’ll tell you how!
