For now, though, we’ll have to be content with using Windows via a virtual machine on M1 macs.Most experts suggest using tools like Parallels to install an additional OS, regardless of your machine’s architecture, because of the ability to run both installations at once. However, consumers would ultimately win in a world where the two companies decided to work together. That might seem like a weird idea, especially considering how most people view Apple and Microsoft as rivals. If we ever hope to see that same kind of performance on Windows, it could be good to combine Microsoft’s OS with Apple’s tech. The M1 Macs have managed to hit some impressive benchmarks since their release. Of course, whether or not Apple supports Boot Camp on M1 Macs is up to the company. If it starts to receive more support from other vendors, though, Microsoft might open the door for regular consumers to access those licenses. That’s because Microsoft only licenses the ARM version of Windows to PC makers. While Windows 11 can be run on an M1 Mac using a virtual machine like Parallels, Apple doesn’t offer Boot Camp on those systems.

If the deal is really about to end, though, we could see more support for Windows on ARM. This is a stark comparison to the speed and efficiency we’ve seen in Apple’s M1 chips, which use the same style of architecture. In the time that Qualcomm and Microsoft have been working together, most of the systems that they’ve released have been sluggish.

Windows on ARM has been pretty disappointing thus far.

It’s unclear when the deal will end exactly, but when it does, it could open up room for new competition to step into the arena. The deal is set to end soon, according to sources familiar with it.

Microsoft and Qualcomm exclusivity deal has held Windows on ARM back Windows 11 running on a laptop.
