If you want to play games, you'll probably want to go and find the latest drivers for the particular graphics card in your Mac from either AMD or NVIDIA. While you can set up tap-to-click and two-finger right-clicking, it just doesn't feel as nice as in macOS. Unfortunately, the trackpad doesn't behave so well on Windows, either.

Your mileage may vary, but it definitely doesn't stand up to macOS. You'll most likely lose a few hours of battery life running Windows-with some reports of a 50% reduction in battery life.

Windows, designed to run on lots of different hardware, is nowhere near as optimized, and it shows. However, on the downside, if you use a MacBook, you may see some reductions in battery life and loss of functionality with your trackpad, as Apple designed it to work with macOS. Now select the Virtualize option, and pick Windows to create an environment for your Windows 11.That's because, generally speaking, a lot of games are written for Windows first and will often use DirectX (a Microsoft technology) the same games on macOS will have to make do with different technology, OpenGL, which is cross-platform and well-supported but generally less efficient resulting in lower performance. On the main menu, select the + sign to create a new virtual machine. Now you just have to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Install the UTM app and then launch the Windows 11 ISO file in it. While your download completes, grab the Windows 11 ISO file from Microsoft's download page. To get started, head to the official website and download the UTM app from there. UTM is an open-source, virtualization software that lets you run any other operating system on top of your Mac.

How to Install Windows 11 on an M1 Mac using the UTM app All you’ve to do is install the UTP app, get the Windows 11 ISO files, and run the app on top of the UTM virtualizer. The first method, using the UTM app, comes free of cost. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to work around these requirements, install and then run the Windows 11 on your M1 Mac. The biggest hurdle for Mac users is the strict requirements to run Windows 11.
