It will also be very difficult to apply updates to unofficial installations of Windows 11 on a Mac so we strongly advise against it.

Parallels costs $79.99 for home users although existing users can upgrade for $49.99 to the latest version of Parallels 17 which can install Windows 11 on a Mac.īe warned that there are some websites that have published workarounds to install Windows 11 on a Mac that bypass the TPM requirement by using a modified ISO image of Windows. TPM modulation has been available in the Professional version of Parallels for quite a while already and so adding the feature to the Standard version in light of Windows 11 was an easy move for Parallels. The good news is that the virtual environment Parallels allows you to install Windows 11 on a Mac by simulating the TPM module virtually so that you can install Windows 11 on both Intel and M1/M2 chip Macs.

However, to officially support Windows 11 Apple would have to update macOS in Intel Macs to support TPM and Windows 11 and that seems highly unlikely as Apple is currently discontinuing all Intel Macs in favor of the new Apple Silicon M1/M2 chip Macs.
