Can support Windows on ARM platform soon, here is how:
For x64 Windows platform there are two compatible processor options: Intel and AMD.
For Arm64 Windows platform it first seems there is only one processor option: Qualcomm.
We have seen there is lack of suitable hardware with Qualcomm processor.
But there is another option supported by Microsoft:
Options for using Windows 11 with Mac computers with Apple M1, M2, and M3 chips
Windows 11 runs best on a PC designed for Windows. When such an option isn't available, here are two different ways to use Windows with Mac.
The two different ways given by Microsoft have one disadvantage:
They are expensive.
But there are two other ways which Microsoft doesn't mention which are inexpensive:
VMware Fusion and UTM (Universal Turing Machine) Virtual Machines (GitHub).
They are virtualization based like the Parallels Desktop solution mentioned by Microsoft and are not authorized by Microsoft, but seem to work as shown by instructions found on the Web.
I will check it out soon on my MacBook Air and report the result.
The MacBook Air is the only suitable hardware option for me, so the virtual machine method seems like the only viable solution.
Following is a screenshot with the Parallels solution.
Perhaps I will choose this way.
