Please help me install Windows 10 on Mac safely?

Don't use Bootcamp for installing Windows 10 on Mac!

Boot Camp is a built-in utility on Intel-based Macs that allows users to install Windows 10 on mac free, providing near-full performance since the OS runs directly on the hardware. However, Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2 and later) do not support Boot Camp because they use ARM-based processors, while Windows 10 traditionally runs on x86 architecture. Microsoft has not released a consumer version of Windows 10 for ARM that supports Boot Camp, making it impossible to use this method on newer Macs.

Even on Intel Macs, Boot Camp has some limitations. It requires partitioning your hard drive, meaning you must dedicate a fixed amount of storage to Windows upfront, which can’t easily be adjusted later. Additionally, switching between macOS and Windows requires a reboot, unlike virtualization tools (Parallels, UTM, or VMware) that let you run both OSes simultaneously. Drivers can also be an issue, as Apple no longer provides Boot Camp updates for newer versions of Windows on older Macs.

For Apple Silicon users, virtualization is the only viable option. Tools like UTM, Parallels, and VMware Fusion allow Windows 10/11 ARM to run efficiently, though with some performance trade-offs. While Boot Camp was ideal for Intel Macs, Apple’s shift to ARM processors means users must now rely on alternative methods for running Windows on modern Macs.
