Download the software, buy a copy of Windows XP, and you’re done.
Ponzi needs to use Windows on her MacBook Pro, so she can run various applications. All those complaints are perfectly valid, and all of them are answered in one fell swoop by the existence of Boot Camp. I haven't installed Boot Camp since I used the Beta version on the Mac Mini.

Of all the M1 Mac models, our recommendation would be to get either the MacBook Pro or the iMac. Mac users who play those kind of games avidly have long complained of the shortcomings of Mac gaming-the time to market, the lack of parity in features and performance, the cost. Unfortunately, the M1 chip doesn’t support running Windows in Boot Camp so if you’re looking to run Windows on your Mac for a better gaming experience, you’ll be limited to using Parallels or CrossOver instead. People who keep an eye on the Mac game market are worried about this turn of events, and from my perspective, rightfully so: I fully expect that this will effectively decimate the licensing of some Mac conversions of high-profile AAA list releases that fall into the “hardcore” gaming camp. I wasn’t able to run most of the games I tried at the iMac’s native resolution, for example, but found just about every game I ran could operate quite successfully at 1,024-by-768 pixels, with many graphics options turned on including full-scene anti aliasing and pixel and shader effects.

I’ve thrown a bunch of game demos and full games at it, and I haven’t found one yet that doesn’t work.īoot Camp doesn’t instantly turn a Mac into a “hardcore” gaming system-as far as PCs are concerned, the iMac is pretty middle of the road in terms of its graphics performance and capabilities. I’ve been playing with Windows XP SP2 on aĢ0-inch Intel-based iMac.
