You can now run Windows 11 on a Mac with an M1 chip
How to run Windows operating system on a closed platform like a Mac? Parallels has the answer by using virtualization software to create an operating system that runs an emulator inside another operating system.
Using Parallels Desktop is one of the most user-friendly ways to run Windows on a Mac computer. It sets up a virtual machine, which can load Microsoft's operating system on macOS.
Parallels Desktop is especially useful if you own one of Apple's newest Macs - a Mac equipped with an ARM-based M1 chip. These Macs have removed the CPU and Intel's Boot Camp, a free utility for installing and running Windows 10 on a computer.
Parallels Desktop 17 is the latest version compatible with Apple M1 chip machines and macOS Monterey operating system, meaning users can create virtual machines to run Windows 10 and Windows 11 Preview on Apple's latest Macs. defect.
This version is also compatible with older Intel-based Macs, allowing Windows and Linux to run 38% faster, 2D graphics processing 25% faster, and OpenGL graphics processing 6 times faster. With the M1 chip, the machine boots into Windows 33% faster, handles DirectX 28% faster and hard drive efficiency increases by 20% compared to the Windows 10 Insider Preview version.
However, there is a limitation when you run Windows 11 on a Mac M1 with Parallels, that will only be able to run an ARM-based version of Windows 11, so the experiences will be largely limited as well. On the other hand, Macs with Intel chips can also run Windows 11 through Paralles.
On a Mac equipped with an M1 chip, it boots to Windows 10 33% faster, hard drive efficiency is increased by 20% compared to Windows 10 Insider Preview, and Direct processing is 28% faster. On Intel-powered Macs, it connects to the network up to 60% faster, runs Windows and Linux 38% faster, 2D graphics is 25% faster, and OpenGL graphics are 6x faster.
The latest version of Parallels Desktop 17 includes a virtual TPM chip, which is required to install the latest version of Windows 11. So when Windows 11 officially launches later this year, Parallels will be able to run it without what problem.
Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac costs $79.99/year for the regular version and $99.99/year for the Pro/enterprise edition. The program requires 600MB of storage.
