The final nail in Boot Camp's coffin

With Apple's transition to the M1 processor in 2020, the company decided to not develop Boot Camp for the M-series Macs. While Apple says the M-series Macs can run Windows for Arm, it's not going out of its way to do it and there are no indications that development is happening.Boot Camp currently supports Windows 10 on a range of Macs dated mid-2012 or newer. Apple Silicon is not supported due to being ARM-based. Although Windows 11 supports ARM64, the ARM64 version is only licensed to OEMs, and there are no M1/M2 drivers, so it cannot run on Apple Silicon Macs natively.Restart your Mac. When your Mac begins to restart, press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key on your keyboard. Release the key when you see a window (pictured above) showing all available startup volumes. Select the Boot Camp volume, then press Return or click the up arrow.

Why don’t I have Boot Camp on my Mac : Unfortunately, Apple only supports Boot Camp on Macs with an Intel processor. Since Apple has been updating its Macs to run on its own Apple silicon (i.e. M1, M2, and M3) processors, few Macs are still available that let you dual-boot Windows or run Windows apps natively with an Intel processor.

Will Boot Camp come to M2 : That won't provide the best performance that would be capable through a native solution, but Apple has shown no signs of supporting Boot Camp on M1 or M2 Macs.

Apple Boot Camp is Intel x86-64 only, and does not support Apple silicon. For Windows on Apple silicon, acquire and install the Parallels hypervisor, and acquire and install Microsoft Windows for ARM64 there. If you want to use Microsoft Windows for Intel x86-64, you will need to acquire and install an Intel emulator.
