Installing and Running Windows on Your Mac: The Best Options
This article explores various ways to install and run Windows on any Mac.
Discover how simple and beneficial it can be to run Windows 11 on your Mac, whether for using Triplogik Manager or any other essential application not natively supported by macOS.
Our Suggestion
Although there are three possible methods, we recommend focusing on two of them, with a strong preference for Parallels due to its simplicity, especially for non-IT users.
Three methods: Parallels, VMware Fusion Player, or Boot Camp
1. Parallels (www.parallels.com)
Since 2006, Parallels has provided Mac users with software that allows them to run Windows seamlessly.
Parallels is one of the most popular solutions for Mac users who need Windows compatibility. It runs Windows within a "window" on your Mac, enabling access to a wide range of PC applications—without the need to reboot between macOS and Windows. since 2024 , if you have a Mac with an M1 or M2 processor, Parallels is the recommended solution.
2. VMware Fusion Player (www.vmware.com)
VMware Fusion Player offers a similar solution to Parallels, allowing users to run Windows directly within macOS without rebooting. However, compared to Parallels, Fusion provides less support and requires more effort to install Windows.
For Macs with M1 or M2 processors, you’ll need VMware Fusion Player 13 and up .
While VMware does offer a free version, installation can be challenging, requiring some technical knowledge.You will also need to find the Windows 11 installation file seperately.
3. Boot Camp (www.apple.com)
Although Boot Camp is still available on older Mac OS verison we dont suggest using this as ther are many limitations
Apple’s native solution for running Windows on a Mac can only work on Intel based machines.
Unlike Parallels, Boot Camp requires you to restart your Mac in Windows mode each time you switch between operating systems. ⚠️ Important: While Boot Camp is still supported in Ventura, you won’t find it on an M1 or M2 Mac.
Why TripLogik Recommends Parallels
