MSFS2020 on a Mac

Hi,

unfortunately, I don’t think there is a ARM version of Windows 10 that is optimised for M1. Macs with M1 chip doesn’t have boot camp, so the only way to run windows is through virtual machines, which I don’t imagine you can run any flight sim in it, as they’re both CPU and GPU intense. Because virtual machine runs within MacOS so you get a reduced performance in windows. That’s for now, in the future, maybe there will be a M1 version of boot camp.

another point of worth noticing, MSFS2020 doesn’t have a ARM version, that means it won’t work well or worse, it might not be able to load itself.

thanks for the question.

Memory’s the easy part, however the main requirement is the OS and graphics card both of which aren’t met. Guaranteed to disappoint, avoid.

Not possible anyway since no VM apps are available for M1 Macs.,

especially for Intel OSes.

I thought Parallel Desktop just released VM for M1s. But of course the choices of windows softwares are very limited for M1 Mac VMs.
