What's 'Sonoma Window 11'? Sonoma is the Mac's operating system. Are you referring to Boot Camp? If so, the M-series Macs (Apple Silicon) aren't compatible with dual-booting Windows natively. Parallels (or similar) is your best bet, or buy a cheap PC.

Thank you for your informations on Parallels, could you advise if your Genius Bar can help with Parallels app installation on my Mac with M chip? Thank you.

If I had to guess, probably not- it might be worth a shot if you really feel like you need it, but it's fairly straightforward. The program guides you through it just like installing any other app.
