I would like to switch to windows 11 from macOS Monterey because mac isn't built for gaming and cant run Fortnite on the latest version. Is it possible that I can completely remove macOS and install windows 11? And will I lose any of my files on my laptop?
MY DEVICE: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4
Hi Duckieys,
You can install Windows 10 on your MacBook Pro with Boot Camp. With Boot Camp, you can switch between macOS and Windows seamlessly, keeping all of your files in tact. This allows you to use Windows for gaming, and macOS for everything else. Or, if you prefer to use Windows exclusively, you can use a flash drive or hard drive to move files from macOS to Windows.
Learn more about how to install Boot Camp, and requirements for it, on this article: Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant - Apple Support.
You may be able to update to Windows 11 after install, however I'm unable to guarantee this as I haven't tried it.
