Windows 10: Apple’s ARM Macs won’t let you run Windows 10 through Boot Camp

Apple’s Boot Camp has been allowing Mac owners to run Windows natively on their devices for several years, but it appears that Boot Camp days are now numbered. According to new developer documentation published by Apple, the switch to Apple Silicon will prevent users from running Windows on the Mac via traditional Boot Camp virtualization.

During the annual WWFC keynote, Apple confirmed that the company is planning to move away from using x86 processor and they are going to use their own ARM-powered SoCs for future Macs.

Apple also announced Rosetta 2 to translate code intended for Intel CPUs to make existing apps work on Apple Silicon. Apparently, there are some limitations and Apple won’t be able to translate code intended for Boot Camp, which could prevent users from installing Windows 10 on their Macs.

In a support document, Apple clarified that Rosetta won’t be able to translate x86_64 virtualization apps, which could also prevent virtualization of Windows environments.

It’s worth noting that the limitation applies only to Macs powered by Apple Silicon. The macOS 11 Bir Sur update will still support Book Camp when you install the operating system on Macs with Intel chips. Currently, it appears that Book Camp and Windows 10 virtualization support for upcoming Macs with ARM SoC will be excluded.

During WWDC 2020, Apple showed off Linux running on ARM-based Macs, but that’s because Linux for ARM is already available. While Windows 10 can also run on ARM chips, Microsoft says there’s no official way to install the operating system.

Currently, Windows 10 for ARM is only available for manufacturers such as Samsung, HP, Asus and Dell to pre-install on their hardware.

You won’t be able to use Windows 10 on ARM for ARM-based Macs officially unless Microsoft releases the installation media image of the OS, which is still not available.

Bluetooth is not working with Boot Camp after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi,

To enable your Bluetooth, run the Boot Camp Assistant from the Utilities folder on your Mac and install the support software, which includes the latest drivers you need for Bluetooth.

• 
  Check for software updates to make sure OS X, your Mac firmware, and Boot Camp Assistant are
  up to date.
  
• 
  Run Boot Camp Assistant and install the support software, which includes the latest Boot Camp drivers you need for Bluetooth.
  You can find step-by-step directions at Apple’s Support Site here.
  

After reinstalling the drivers, all paired devices from Windows 8.1 should still be paired and usable.

 

No sound on MAC running Windows 10

Hey Dan,

Thanks for installing Windows 10. Check Software update in the Mac App Store, there were some Boot Camp updates released recently. (based on info I found on the apple forum). Hope this helps. Helped one other user on the apple forum with your same symptom.

 

Windows on Mac?

Yeah, it's apple's boot camp on their new Intel macs. When Macintosh moved everything to x86, they remembered that Windows runs on x86. And so after some crazy internet people won a contest to boot Windows on a Mac, Macintosh released the "Boot Camp" beta which is alot like the boot loader in Windows XP. Hence, if you buy Windows XP, download Boot Camp beta, and get all sorts of Windows software, you can dual boot XP and Mac and run your XP software on a Mac. That's just too expensive in my opinion...wait for Conroe *Stick Out Tongue .
