Thanks to Parallels, the venerable Apple virtual machine software company, the Windows 10 for ARM preview will run on an M1 Mac with surprisingly workable performance. And after witnessing the M1’s scintillating performance in the testing for this article, I was not happy about it in the least.įortunately, the situation is far from hopeless.
I run Windows 10 quite a bit on my iMac for professional reasons (and sharper small fonts), and the M1 Mac’s lack of Boot Camp support seemed to be a non-starter for me. But users who want to run Windows on the Mac are officially and natively left out in the cold.Īdmittedly, those of us who run Windows on a Mac are a distinct minority of the community. There’s no doubt that Apple’s new M1 Macs have shaken up the marketplace with its low power consumption and fantastic performance-even with non-native Mac apps, surprisingly.
