It will not work directly. The only way is via some virtualization app as previously mentioned.


There are zero drivers available to use Windows 11 (or 10 for that matter) directly with any M1 based Mac.


Also, Bootcamp is not available on M1 Macs.


FWIW, according to Microsoft in their most recent statements they have stated they have no intention of providing support for the M1 Macs and Windows 11.
