Why is this Apple's problem? It is Microsoft that decides the minimum specification for Windows 11. You seem to be expecting Apple to do things they can't possibly predict they will need to do or really have any interest in doing. If you wanted a Windows machine then there are plenty of far cheaper options out there for you. I also have no idea how you spent close to 6000 USD on a MacBook (assuming you mean MacBook Pro or MacBook Air as you can't currently buy a MacBook). As far as I can see, there are no configurations that cost anywhere near that much.


I think you are being more than a little bit unfair with your comment.

Windows 11 although not supported for macs can be run on all intel macs through boot camp. First you have to install windows 10 through boot camp and install any necessary drivers (also intel drivers have to be manually installed through intel website). Next install media creation tool wrapper from the GitHub page. Run the software and click on the “11” button when the option appears.

This is absolute bs I just Spent close to $6,000 on my new MacBook that’s not including everything else I purchase from apple both for company and personal use. Seriously considering switching out of Apple completely.


Can’t you do anything for us to enable a TPM for our macs? You guys should know that it is essential in our world of business to be able to access both operating systems simultaneously. You guys WILL lose a lot of customers this way if you don’t enable it or at least allow us an option to enable it ourselves. People would even pay for this to be done through the apple store because it’s such an essential tool. Wtf Apple put your ego aside for a moment and recognize your opportunities for collaboration!!!


-Windows 11 TPM Compatible Macs

I have Windows 11 for ARM (from the Windows Insider programme) running on my Apple Silicon Mac Mini through Parallels Desktop 17. Certain Windows updates will not run because of the lack of TPM 2.0 and it is not possible to activate Windows 11 (unless this is because it is an evaluation installation).


Otherwise, it seems to run well and I have not yet discovered any compatibility issues with software I was running on Windows 10 through Parallels on my Intel MacBook Pro.
