Windows on Mac | 2 options tested

[@AZisk]

For Bootcamp you’ll need an Intel Mac. Try Parallels here for free: prf.hn/click/camref:1100libNI

[@memsom]

I just installed Windows 11 recently on 2 macs, one was a 2012 pre retina i5 2.5GHz, the other was a brand new MacPro with M3 Pro. Here is some insight: Intel: you do not need bootcamp. I just installed an EFI version of Windows 11 from a key made with Rufus (turned of TPM), then used Brigadeer to get the Apple Bootcamp support package. The Bootcamp drivers do not support EFI, so weird stuff like sound doesn;t work, but if you install OpenCore Legacy Patcher and boot using it instead of the default Mac boot menu, you will end up with a working system, sound included. For the M3 Pro - I used VMWare Player. It now does exactly what Parallels does - you can install Windows 11 directly in the setup wizard for a new VM, and it also installs all of the basic support, so it doesn't need the additions to get networking etc. I guess the only thing Parallels has is allowing "confluence" mode, but I would rather use VMWare with a free personal license for the small amount of Windows I need to do rather than pay the Parallels cost every year. If I need more Windows and can't use VMWare because of licensing, I can also switch to UTM.

Sorry this video and test is invalid because you didn’t use the Schwarzenegger ;)

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

you can select in macOs which OS to boot with and you can select in each OS "restart with Win/macOs" ;)

[@KaziQTR]

Instead of repeatedly pressing option key, you need to keep it pressed. Also the easier option is to use the boot camp assistant in windows tray and click on restart in macOS. This will directly set macOS your default boot OS.

[@AZisk]

thx. i’m a bootnoob

[@brettb.345]

Holding the option key also let’s you choose another drive to boot from, such as a flash drive.

[@hkloss11]

so, when running Parallels on a Macbook, and then running Windows 11 on a Macbook, you are at the same time running two operating systems, on a Macbook, one Mac OS and a Windows 11 one? Don't these two OS' on the same Mac laptop interfere with each other, ie, slow down their operations? Would someone who needs to use Windows based applications, programs , be better off buying a Windows OS based laptop or computer?

[@codewithlarsy]

[@brettb.345]

@@hkloss11 windows runs in a virtual machine. For all intents and purposes, windows sees its machine however parallels portrays itself to windows. The only real instances of conflicts of which I’m aware would be sharing usb devices and such.

[@JustinWellsDev]

I have fond memories of being in middle school/high school in 2009/2010 installing windows on my iMac and 13" macbook pro for light gaming and modding. Wayyyy back lmao

[@FernandoAES]

Back in the day, I installed Windows on my bootcamp and VMWare offered to make a virtual machine from the bootcamp installation. It was best of both worlds because I used it as a Virtual machine daily, which is a better experience for productivity. But I could boot in windows if needed raw performance, which meant gaming.

[@JeffP702]

Love using Parallels for this. I keep Windows mostly separate except for sharing one folder. In addition, because I don't like certain products on my Mac side, I just use them on Windows and it works seamlessly. For me, I also recommend more than 16GB memory, or you will run into pressure.

[@imanasri9950]

great!

[@zaidyounas1602]

Can we appreciate how much high quality content this guy posts.

[@moow950]

You have to plugin the charger to get full performance on the Boot Camp machine, otherwise you will get a lower performance (to save battery). Also, you can access the Mac partition from Windows with some extra software install, so you don't need to restart the machine and use a USB drive to exchange files.

[@ShawnSonnentag]

Great demonstration of the differences between native and virtual Windows systems. Thanks!

[@oscar5]

UTM is able to install and run Windows 11 now. I installed it and so far everything I’ve tried works well. It is ARM based Windows, whatever Microsoft calls their version of Rosetta is working well for me, for a couple of things I tried. I was able to share the Mac host machine drive as drive Z. It is using 5 or 6 cores from the host so it is quite speedy

[@stanleyphilips7509]

Did it install it natively ?

[@Geek-zl6bs]

I had no idea a video like this existed! thank you! I'm a multiplatform app developer. I'm developing on a Windows PC and an Intel iMac. However, this has become a hassle and I would like to develop applications for Windows and MacOS on a single Mac (Apple Silicon). This test was very helpful! Thank you vecy much !!

[@brunosanmartin1065]

I have a lot of experience using virtual machines and Boot Camp as well as Parallels. As I have mentioned in previous videos, I am a developer and I can tell you that I have used Parallels on a MacBook Pro 16" with the M1 Pro chip and it works perfectly. HOWEVER, as you rightly said in your video, you need to have ARM compatibility, otherwise the programs will not work at all. Unfortunately, compatibility with Apple silicon is quite limited for programs used in Windows. The idea of using a virtual machine with Windows is the COMPATIBILITY THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE WITH MACOS. Unlike using Boot Camp, which in my personal opinion has 100% compatibility because it uses Intel processors. Perhaps it is a headache to restart and boot the operating system, but it is something that has greater compatibility when using programs, for example, BIZAGI, which is a Process Modeler and BPM Suite.

[@SwissPGO]

Why not UTM ? allows to run both intel and ARM windows on Apple silicon. It's qemu based.

[@Stonemasher]

Thats what i'm using. awesome, fast and free!

[@noah2570lol]

1. Parallels is official 2. It has way more features

[@sololololos]

UTM still does not support hardware acceleration. You can go and check it yourself. For example the Ubuntu imagine says display: gpu. And for windows it’s says display: vga.

[@SwissPGO]

@@sololololos interesting... I've not been in the need for the GPU on windows, a quick search on qemu (the underlying technology of UTM) shows that qemu supports GPU passthrough and virtio-GPU using spice - which requires installing the spice drivers on windows. I don't know how mature these drivers are for Apple silicon though, as I never had the need.

[@brivism]

coherence mode is worth mentioning and showing. it basically let's you start windows app and have them on your macos desktop next to your macos apps' window

[@tamalchakraborty5346]

I used to like coherence mode, now its just cumbersome. I would like macOS and Windows on separate spaces like in this video. A good point though.

[@AZisk]

yes, i didn’t mention it here, but good addition. I mentioned it a few times in my other vids on Parallels

[@ajcroteau0928]

Hi Alex, what are your thoughts on doing a comparison between Parallel's and some of the free options such as UTM and if they're even worth exploring...

[@Emreb-y5m]

[@oakman978]

I've been using bootcamp windows 11 for two years now and have had no issues. While not officially supported, it works just as well as win10. You can even do a hacky workaround and boot it off an external drive. This worked, but the speed was not great. The best thing I ever did for my 2019 minimum spec macbook was install windows 11 on the internal drive (128GB) and Monterey on an external USB3.2 NVMe enclosure (500GB)

[@hhy2k]

yeah, actually win11 runs much better than any macOS

[@bryans8656]

Boot Camp is the one feature that I really miss since I moved to Apple silicon. I have some legacy x86 software that I still use and Windows on Parallels won't run them. My final solution was to buy one of those Dell Optiplex desktops you see all over eBay and soup it up. Not only can I run my old software, I can play my Steam games.

[@salvatorepurpura]

whats the performance if you run parallels on the intel mac with windows compared to parallels on the arm box would be a better comparison

[@AZisk]

that would indeed be a good test. i’ll consider doing it in the future

[@youarecorrectiamwrongbecau1338]

@AZisk yeah.. that seems like an interesting comparison. Also, I was pretty uncomfortable when you were pressing down the alt key repeatedly.. it's simple method of keeping it pressed which I know since forever so was surprised you didn't know it. But yeah, it's possible your workflow never required doing it

[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

So will Parallels let me install it on all 5 of my computers with just one license like VMware Fusion does?

[@remainedmind]

[@QuintonDolan]

All of the legacy windows intel apps I need work fine on Windows 11 for ARM thanks for the built in x64 emulation (similar to Rosetta 2 on macOS). Parallels coherence mode even makes them seamless.

I upgraded my Intel MacBook Pro 13 with 8th i7 core processor Bootcamp Windows 10 to 11 and was also able to install WSL2 GUI and Windows Subsystem for Android. I had to jump through some hoops to do the initial upgrade to Windows 11, but thereafter I used group policy to force the 21H2, 22H2 updates. In the end, I got rid of my Intel MacBook Pro, because performance of Intel Bootcamp Windows 11 was so slow compared with running Windows 11 as a VM under Parallels on my M2 MacBook Pro 13! The same group policy approach, as documented on Parallel's support site, also works to force the 23H2 update if not offered via Windows update.

You could also install only Windows on an Intel Mac. You will need to use brigadier to install the Mac drivers on windows though after installing the OS. And if you by pass the requirement for TPM when creating Windows 11 bootable using rufus, you could get the Windows 11 installed as well - as a clean install - without macOS

I'm here to try and find out how Windows 10 or 11 scales, and how it works with Macbook screens. Here's some background to my enquiry: in the old days, if you deviated away from your screen's native resolution on any Windows machine, the resulting text was slightly blurry. And although many people could accept that, I definitely can't. The problem is that I want a new laptop and I've been used to using a relatively low-res 1366x768 screen for years, but they're quite rare now and I really don't want to go higher i.e. up to 1920 (aka Full HD) or 2560 (aka QHD/ 1440p). As this is a work and browsing machine only, the resulting text would be too small for me, and even though I understand that scaling has improved in the Windows operating system in recent years, deviating so far from the technical native resolution is probably going to bug me... unless it's an exact 2:1 scale. By that, I'm referring to the way that Apple laptops have, say, a 2880 screen, but display the desktop at half that resolution, meaning everything is much bigger than it would be on a 2880 res Windows machine, presumably by using two pixels to one (i.e. retina display). So, I want to know if the latest Windows o/s can scale down to exactly match the current 2880 or 3072 res Apple laptop screens, and if so, is it pin sharp and have the icon-scaling issues from a few years back been solved now? Alternatively (and it has been impossible to find anything at all about this), will the latest WQXGA 2880x1800 laptop screens such as those fitted to Samsung's Windows laptops scale in the same way/ perfectly if I just forget MacBooks altogether?

One thing you have to consider is that with a "native" installation on bootcamp you can run simulators on windows with no issues, while if you are already using windows on a VM like you do with Parallel then I am not sure you can run another VM over the VM to run your phone simulators ...

Unfortunately these services didn't start, as the main service requires Plug and Play to be running. I double checked using "SC.EXE QC " command and Plug and Play was listed as a dependency. Weirdly enough, that specific service isn't listed anywhere on Windows 11 ARM. I really don't know if it is related to Windows 11 ARM or Parallels. The service is available in normal Windows 11 laptop. It is very weird and niche situation I am facing.

I used to multiple ways to run vm on Intel Mac before, Parallels is best. However, switching to Macbook Air M2, its not worth paying Parallels anymore as I can no longer run Windows with it. There are multiple options for Linux vm.

Hi, the boot camp on my MacBook Pro M1 isn't working. How can I activate it to install Windows 10? I will try Paralles Desktop

[@AnkitSingh-nj8qd]

if you are not trying to sell parellels then make video on how to use UTM and install x64 windows 11 on mac m1/m2/m3

why would i use something that i know is inferior.

The Intel has a disadvantage because Intel has its Low Power mode hardwired and by default, meaning that without the power connected, you loose performance. Try connecting it to power and see. The Apple Silicon one will not be affected by this unless the low power mode is enabled. It will still be faster but the difference will be less noticeable

Did you try a Windows 10/11 on Arm ISO on the M-series Macbook? You can install any non-macOS operating system on a Mac the same way as on an Intel machine I believe (I do not own one)

for my job as graphic designer for mainly schoolbooks, i work with publishers. One of them wants everything done on PC, even tho we work with inDesign and it shouldn't technically matter if it runs on mac or windows. Anyhow, I've got the Macbook Pro M3 Max and tried Parallel (and VMware) - it works fine in general, and i guess for gaming it might work out - BUT!!! Adobe hasn't updated or made certain programs like InDesign and Illustrator available for AMR Processors (Virtual machines like Parallel and VMware seem to only be able to install Windows 11 AMR)... So now I have to purchase a second computer, a PC and use Windows Remote Desktop (hopefully that works) to still use only one big workstation instead of working on 2 computer simultaneously... Only because bootcamp isn't available anymore :/ If anyone reads this and has found any kind of loophole to still 'boot' windows on the new Macs... Pleeeease enlighten me.. 😆

If the purpose of the intel mac is windows x64 software testing I'd rather wipe the SSD and install windows 11 directly via UEFI. You can then extract the win 10 drivers from the latest boot camp installer (7zip or winrar can do so) and speaking of expirience they're gonna do fine on 11.

Parallels does not fully support all Windows programs, for example, Nvidia simulation programs. I hope your method will work. However, you mentioned that this Boot Camp works on Intel systems, but my Apple Mac Studio Ultra uses Silicon Graphics. I’m not sure if it will work on my Mac.

bootcamp only works on intel machines
