Of course, you can use Windows on the M1 Mac, and other Apple Silicon Macs shipped with M2, M3, and M4 chips.
You should know that Boot Camp Assistant is not available on Apple Silicon Macs, but there are other workarounds to run Windows on M1 Mac.

  • Install Windows on M1 with a virtual machine such as Parallels Desktop
  • Run Windows apps on M1 via Rosetta 2
  • Run Windows on M1 using a cloud server like Windows 365

Yes, you can run Windows on an M1 Mac, but there are a few caveats since the M1 chip is based on ARM architecture, and Windows traditionally runs on x86 architecture. The best option for running Windows on an M1 Mac is Parallels Desktop with Windows ARM. If you’re looking for a more complete experience or need to run specific x86 software, that might be a bit trickier without full x86 emulation, but it’s still possible depending on your use case.
