M3 pro runs Bootcamp

I’m looking into buying a M3 Pro MacBook Pro. However, I need to know whether is there bootcamp in the latest Macos13 or 14? Can windows11 be installed on it and run it?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

HI Bertie,


Like you I was looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and install bootcamp, so that the windows based software I use can be installed / used. I'm also more familiar with the windows environment having used it forever!

Bootcamp has been fantastic and very stable, so its a shame it is no longer supported. Apparently its over to Microsoft to get the ball rolling.


Sadly, I wont be buying this time around until they (apple/Microsoft) have come up with a solution. Annoyingly there is nothing out there that comes close to the build quality of a mac, which i have owned for 8plus years! Hopefully my macbook pro will keep going till they sort!


Good luck on your quest!


Cheers

no bootcamp option for any mx apple arm based cpu macs whatsoever


the new cpu from apple used the ARM cpu architecture where the version of windows microsoft

sells rely on the intel x86/x64 cpu architecture


 your only option is virtual machine


if you want to know more

what microsoft say:
