Apple’s M1 Macs are all the rage now. Everyone is talking about them and most people are buying them. Long time Windows users are looking to jump ship after seeing what it can do. And some are waiting for the next generation of Apple Silicon Macs to arrive. But as Apple is in the process of abandoning the Intel processors in favor of its own Silicon.

Things started to change and we got to know that Apple will ax Bootcamp, which enabled us to dual boot Windows on a Mac machine previously. Thankfully we still have virtualization support on the new Apple Silicon Macs. And we are going to do just that to install Windows 10 on your M1 Mac using Parallels.

Parallels Desktop

Parallels is a fast and easy way to download and run Windows 10 on your Mac. The process of installing it doesn’t need much of a learning curve or anything. Now all you need is a MacBook or Mac Mini equipped with M1 and an ARM based operating system installation image. After that, you need to sign up for the Parallels technical preview.
