And out of the box, M1 Macs can run the latest version of CrossOver, so Windows apps are on the table.
However, Boot Camp isn’t the only way to run Windows apps - for years, CrossOver has provided a way to run Windows software on Linux, macOS and Chrome OS via the Wine open-source Windows compatibility layer. Obviously, there’s no version of Windows that can run on the M1 chip, so Boot Camp is off the table for now. One thing that’s getting lost in the transition to M1 is Boot Camp, a tool that allowed you to install and run Windows on a separate partition of your Mac’s hard drive. Apple’s new M1-powered Macs appear to meet the company’s audacious speed claims, but there are still some drawbacks compared to Intel Macs.
