Tons of Mac users use windows 11 on arm through parallels right now. Mine is registered through microsoft through a windows pro key. The problem is with qualcomm, they have an exclusivity deal that supposedly ends soon. If that happens, microsoft is free to start selling windows on arm to anyone. Of course, that will require apple to write a boot loader, so don't hold your breath.

Whatever.
I'm confused by the comments in this thread. Doesn't Microsoft sell Windows ARM to everyone?
Parallels is not boot camp! It does not run at the hardware level. We know about Parallels and it's not the same thing.
I've been running dual-boot Linux on every Intel Mac I've ever owned.

M1 mac doesn't support boot camp and it will never support bootcamp. Apple silicon Mac have a new Start Up options feature. You can install any OS you want on it and do multi boot. There are no restriction from Apple. There is a new Linux OS called Asahi that is in alpha that supports it already. Apple silicon Mac's ability to run Windows is in the hand of Microsoft, not Apple.
That is sooo heartbreaking hey. Spent to much on the M! thinking I could use windows. In Namibia so no return policy
