Apple no longer supports Boot Camp for running Windows on Silicon Macs, but alternatives exist. Microsoft recommends Windows 365 for remote access and Parallels Desktop for virtualization. UTM, an open-source application based on the QEMU emulator, allows users to create a virtual machine for running Windows alongside macOS. UTM supports both the Arm version of Windows, which runs efficiently on Apple Silicon, and emulation of the x86 version, though with potential performance drawbacks. UTM is not ideal for gaming due to the lack of GPU emulation. To set up Windows on a Mac using UTM, users need to download UTM from GitHub or the Mac App Store and obtain a copy of Windows 11. After downloading the Windows ISO, users create a new virtual machine in UTM, choosing to either virtualize or emulate the operating system. Users allocate memory and storage, select a shared folder, and then start the virtual machine to install Windows. After installation, drivers must be installed to enhance functionality, allowing for better display resolution and internet access.

Microsoft has made a disk image (ISO file) available for download for the specialized version of Windows 11 designed for Snapdragon laptops, allowing users to reinstall the operating system or create a bootable flash drive. This release follows the introduction of Arm64-based hardware, which is distinct from traditional x86 and x64 architectures. Users may face challenges in sourcing necessary components through Windows Update and may need an Ethernet connection or alternative methods to transfer drivers.
