Apple’s M1-based Macs are really, really fast. The performance of M1 Macs will keep on improving as more and more apps are optimized for Apple Silicon. However, one of the downsides of using an M1 Mac is that they do not support Bootcamp, meaning you cannot install and dual-boot Windows on it. Thankfully, there’s a way via which you can install Windows 10 on your M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or the iMac.
Apple’s M1 chip is very different from the traditional x86 architecture-based CPUs that modern PCs, laptops, and even Intel-based Macs use. Previously, the common x86 architecture meant that it was easy to run Windows 10 on an Intel-based Mac, but that’s not the case anymore. Thankfully, there’s virtualization support on the new Apple Silicon chips. And we are going to do use just that to install Windows 10 on your M1 Mac using Parallels Desktop.
A slimmer-than-ever Apple iMac with a 24-inch screen arrives next month with a completely redesigned exterior and some significant changes to the internal components. The big one? The Apple M1.
After making its debut on the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini six months ago, the M1 chip is at last coming to the iMac. Ditching Intel Core processors in favor of silicon designed in-house was a ground-breaking achievement for Apple’s laptops. But other than incorporating the M1, the new MacBooks are identical to their predecessors.
That’s not the case with the new iMac, which adds a new screen size and a rainbow of color options to Apple’s all-in-one desktop (AIO) lineup. It’s an entirely new PC, and based on what we know about it so far, an extremely relevant option for those searching for a new work-from-home platform.

Run Windows 10 on your M1 Mac with Parallels Desktop 16.5
Parallels now has a native M1 app, but there s only one version of Windows that works.
body>The M1 Mac s inability to run Windows might seems like an obvious limitation, but it s actually a major issue for a lot of Mac users. Boot Camp is gone so you can t run Windows natively, which means you need to use a virtualization app. A few months ago, Parallels previewed its Parallels Desktop for Mac virtualization software on M1 Macs, and on Wednesday, the company annnounced thatParallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac which brings full native support for both M1 and Intel Macs is out of beta and now available to the general public.
