![]() The approach will be to use the “old” Windows 10 installer and combine that with the Windows 11 installation files. Creating the bootable Windows 11 USB installer Nevertheless, nothing stops you in using a M1 Mac to create the USB installer. There is an ARM-based version of Windows 11 on the way but I haven’t tested that yet. Keep in mind that running Windows 11 natively on a M1 Mac currently is not working with this method. For this article I used a Macbook Air Early 2015 which has a Core I5-5250U and 8GB of RAM and with a few minor tweaks, I got Windows 11 to install and everything working just fine, including updates. As by default, due to the specific hardware requirements mentioned above, it refuses to get installed without any further changes. I couldn't be happier, since I did not have the time to install all of the software from my desktop onto my MBP and I needed something that "just worked" for software development.Windows 11 is about to be released at the time of writing this and I was very curious to find out if I would manage to get it to work on one of my Macs. Windows 10 works perfectly in Parallels on my MBP and is activated. This lets you move Windows installations between different computers with different hardware. I then chose to restore the image from the external HD using the "recover to dissimilar hardware" feature of EaseUS TODO Backup. ![]() I copied this image to an external USB drive and hooked it up to the MBP. On the MBP, in Parallels I booted from the EaseUS TODO Recovery CD. I then made a clone of my desktop PC's Windows 10 HD as an image using EaseUS TODO Backup. On the MBP, I was already running Windows 8.1 in Parallels, so I did the upgrade to 10 just to get the activation to be saved on MS's servers, with no intention of actually using this version since I wanted a "clean" install (the version from my desktop PC's was a new clean install). However, I run Windows 10 in Yosemite using Parallels Desktop, not Boot Camp. Sorry if this is not relevant to you, as it seems you want to do a dual boot, not use a VM. Anyway, here's what I did: I managed to do a full 1:1 clone of my Windows 10 Pro desktop PC to my 2011 MBP. ![]()
