![]() So with VirtualBox you get the best of both worlds - it's free, and it allows you to run both Windows and macOS simultaneously so you can switch between them as required without having to reboot. And while Bootcamp is also a free option, it doesn't let you run macOS and Windows simultaneously (you have to reboot the machine every time you want to switch to the other operating system). If you want to run an Intel based OS on an M1 Mac, then you need a machine emulator & virtualizer such as the free open source Qemu. You will not be able to use any OS made for the Intel CPU with Virtual Box on an M1 Mac as the architectures are different. While there are other options available (such as Parallels and VMware Fusion), VirtualBox is free. You will only be able to use Virtual Box to run an ARM based OS. To run Windows on a Mac, you need to use virtualization software such as VirtualBox. Here are the main steps involved in installing Windows on a Mac: Parallels is a virtual machine program, which means it runs a separate operating system in an emulated computer (called a virtual machine) on your Mac. This enables you to run Windows-only applications on your Mac. By using VirtualBox, you can install Windows on your Mac. VirtualBox is free software that allows you to install different operating systems on your machine. Here I explain how to install Windows on a Mac using the (free) virtualization software, VirtualBox.
