You’re working remotely from your Mac, and your boss tells you that you need Windows in order to work on an upcoming project. Now what? Do you shell out over $1,000.00 for a Windows PC, or do you do the next best thing – install Windows 11 on your Mac.
Installing Windows 11 on Mac is an easy process – if you know what to do. This article will take you through the process step by step using a well-known program called Parallels. Parallels is software that allows a user to run Windows in a Virtual Machine on a Mac. The software should come with a version of Windows 11 (you still need to purchase a license directly from Microsoft).
Here’s how to install Windows on Mac using Parallels:
- Go to Amazon (or directly to Parallels.com).
- Purchase and download the software.
- After that, find the DMG file on your computer and double click it.
- After the file is open, double click on the installation program to begin the install process.
- Follow the screens – it will take sometime for the install process to complete.
- After it installs, Windows 11 will boot up in a window normally.
- That’s it.
Microsoft gives you 30 days until you must purchase a license for Windows 11.
