![]() ![]() And this is built right into the macOS kernel. Next, we need software to take advantage of this hardware. This means you can run multiple operating systems on top of a single SoC. Apple silicon has special hardware that enables the virtualization of CPUs and memory. We'll first look into the stack that enables virtualization. We'll see how to run full Linux distributions and some cool new features. And finally, we'll do a second deep dive, this time into Linux. We'll see how we can set up a virtual Mac and install macOS into it. We will start with an overview of virtualization technologies, and we'll see how to use Virtualization framework to build virtual machines. ![]() This may seem a little ambitious, but stick with us, and we'll do it together. By the end of this session, you will be able to do the same on your own Mac. We'll see how you can run macOS and Linux inside virtual machines, on Apple silicon. This is what we are going to do together today. How to install Windows on a Mac.Benjamin Poulain: Hi everyone, and welcome to our session about virtualization. To see a more detailed breakdown of how to use Boot Camp or VM software, read Microsoft could change this at some point, so be aware that you’re living in its good graces for the time being, but it does mean that at the time of writing you can use Windows 10 on your Mac for free. You should now be able to complete the Windows 10 installation without issue and continue to use the software for free.Now, the important part: when you install Windows (either via the VM software or Boot Camp) click the ‘ I don’t have a product key option’ when you reach the Activate Windows page during the Windows 10 installation.We recommend the 64-bit Home package but check which one your system is capable of running. Microsoft Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File) page and select the version of Windows you want to use. Follow these steps to get Windows for free: If you’re willing to put up with a few notifications and not being able to change many of your preferences, then you can download a copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft for free. We were impressed when we tested it recently, as you can see from our ![]() This package is for non-commercial use, meaning you’ll need to pay for the full VMware Fusion 12 Player or higher if you intend to use the app professionally. So long as you have a non-M1 Mac that’s running at least macOS 10.15 (Catalina) then you can use the excellent This allows you to run Windows, Linux or older version of macOS in a special application, which has the added benefit of meaning you don’t have to reboot your Mac when switching between operating systems. Perhaps the easiest way to get Windows up and running on your Mac is to use virtual machine software. There will apparently be an ARM version of Windows 11 – but it’s not known if this will run on Macs with the M1 chip, we have to assume the same requirement for the TPM security chip. And when it does we can expect to see some great results – according to reports theĪpple M1 runs Windows on ARM faster than Surface Pro X. Microsoft is still developing the ARM compatible version of the operating system, so it is likley that this situation will improve at some point in the future. Further complicating matters, Windows apps are not running natively on ARM yet, and only a few work via the translation software (similar to Rosetta). Parallels, however, it’s not a version you can actually buy: you can download it free of charge if you register as a Microsoft Insider. There is an ARM version of Windows that can run on Apple’s M1-powered Macs via The M1 Mac only supports an ARM version of Windows due to the architecture. It’s possible that virtualisation software may find a way round this in the future, but for now, the answer is no, your Mac won’t run Windows 11. You will also need a special TPM security chip which doesn’t exist on a Mac. The ability to run Windows 11 on a Mac will rely on more than an Intel processor. MacBook Pro introduced in 2012 or laterĪs we said above, there’s a new verison of Windows coming.MacBook Air introduced in 2012 or later. ![]()
