bootcamp will never ever be able to run the intel cpu x86 version of windows

currently Microsoft has an arm (m1 cpy type) version of windows 10 and 11 but not one they sell to end-users


if microsoft will begin to sell it to end-users then it would work in a bootcamp setup and or parallels


test of microsft arm windows show that when it run x86 apps and games using their version of apples rosetta stone 2

then performance is not great.


so in parallels that would be even worse, in bootcamp it would be the same as on the native arm windows machine but only if apple had the required drivers for the arm windows version


so it may never come to pass, if you need windows get rid of the m1 mac and get an intel one
