How to Upgrade to Windows 11 on Mac Using Boot Camp

Microsoft has released Windows 11 for a while now, and the best part is it’s completely free for Windows users. You can easily upgrade Windows 10 to 11 without hassle if your system meets the minimum requirements.

Surprisingly, you can install and use Windows OS on your Mac devices such as MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, and more if the devices build with Intel or AMD processor.

At the same time, you need a tool called Boot Camp, which is available on most Apple devices. In short, Boot Camp is a utility that helps install the Windows OS on Mac devices without any cost.

Whereas you are already using Windows 10 on your Mac, you just need to upgrade Windows 10 to 11 to experience the Windows 11 environment.

However, Windows 11 needs specific requirements such as TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, UEFI, 64-bit processors, and more that are not available on Mac devices. So, to install or upgrade the Windows 11 on Mac devices, you need to minimize these requirements.

The method I describe in the section is most secure and easier than other alternative ways by skipping all compatibility checks.

Can I Install Windows 11 on Mac M1 Using Boot Camp?

No, you can’t because Mac M1 doesn’t allow installing Windows 11 using Boot Camp. It’s important to know that Boot Camp does not support the new Apple Silicon M1 chip, and you can only use the Boot Camp on Intel-based Mac devices.

Though there is no way to install Windows 11 using Boot Camp, there is an effective way to install Windows 11 on Mac M1 without using the Boot Camp.

Using the Parallels only allows you to install the Windows 11 on both Intel and the latest Apple Silicon   M1 Mac series devices. You can also install Windows 11 on the newest version of macOS Monterey.
