While Apple is very keen that its macOS software is only ever run on Macs, there are numerous options for doing the opposite and running Windows on Apple computers. The option we'll cover here is Parallels Desktop for Mac. Head to the Parallels website, and you'll see you can try out Parallels Desktop for Mac for free for 14 days. Along the way, you'll be prompted to download and install Windows 11, which is quite a hefty download: Click the Install Windows button to initiate the process. Parallels sets up a virtual machine on your Mac, then installs Windows inside it—you're essentially installing the operating system as an app, rather than a fundamental layer, so as soon as Parallels is closed (or is uninstalled), Windows goes away with it.
