Install Windows 11 on Mac without bootcamp and virtual machine?
Windows 11 does not support Mac by default as it does not have TPM and Secure Boot. However, you can still install Windows 11 on an Intel Mac. Here is a simple guide to do that:
Boot Camp is one of the best ways to help you install Windows 11 on Mac. It does support Windows 11 on Intel-based Macs, but not officially on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, or M3) models.
On Intel Macs, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 11 much like Windows 10 — just ensure Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 requirements are bypassed or emulated, since Macs don’t have a physical TPM chip. Many users have successfully installed Windows 11 using modified ISOs to remove these checks.
However, Boot Camp is not available on Apple Silicon Macs, as these machines use a different architecture. If you’re on an M-series Mac, your best option is to use virtualization software to run Windows 11 ARM edition. These apps let you install and run Windows 11 smoothly on Mac without rebooting.
