If you want to run Windows 11 on a computer based on Apple silicon chip, you can only run it through parallels. Last year, Microsoft clarified that it is unlikely to support Windows 11 on MAC or M1, which means that unofficial support is what enthusiasts expect In view of this, according to arminder Singh, a developer, Microsoft Windows 11 may be run natively on Apple M1 and other apple silicon hardware soon. He is initiating a project to achieve this goal
However, this is a very early stage, and he said there are several challenges that must be overcome.
Contrary to what appears to be the case, Apple The architecture of the chip is very different from the standard arm64 chip of Qualcomm or MediaTek, so a lot of hardware adaptation and enabling work needs to be done. Fortunately, Asahi Linux project, as a pioneer, has done a lot of work in this field.
This will not be a simple project. I have to consider many special situations of apple and what I need to do to ensure that M1 can start [windows] in a stable way( https://microsoft.pvxt.net/x9Vg1 )。 - Arminder Singh
For those who want to know what the Asahi Linux project is, it is a similar project designed to run Linux on Apple silicon.
However, as mentioned above, Apple's hardware has special challenges. Singh explained that the main problem is related to Apple's proprietary interrupt controller, which is called Apple interrupt controller (AIC). The second problem is related to the input-output memory management unit (IOMMU) of M1, which only supports 16K pages instead of 8K.
In the face of these obstacles, Singh reiterated that although he is actively working to overcome these obstacles, the project may not be successful. Therefore, there is no estimated time for the completion of the project.
The project is not guaranteed to succeed. I will try my best to ensure that it is completed, but in the end, there is no guarantee that I can make windows work in a good way when it is over. But I will try my best. I need time to make sure everything works properly, so there is no ETA so far- Arminder Singh
