Is Windows expected to support the M1 version of the Mac?It is said that the special agreement between Microsoft and Qualcomm is about to expire

by admin

Apple’s Intel version of Mac supports Windows, but later adopts the Arm architecture M1 version of the Mac, which can only run MacOS. Foreign media speculated that this may be related to the special agreement between Microsoft and Qualcomm, but with the end of this agreement, Windows will finally have the opportunity to support the M1 version of the Mac.

Foreign media XDA reported that Qualcomm has reached an agreement with Microsoft to ensure that the Qualcomm Arm architecture chip is the only chip that supports Windows. According to sources, this agreement is about to expire, which means that Microsoft can finally license Windows to other Arm chip manufacturers.

Although it is uncertain when the agreement will end, reports speculate that it will end soon. Qualcomm was originally dedicated to Qualcomm because it helped Microsoft develop Windows on Arm, but MediaTek recently announced that it will enter the market and is expected to build a Windows on Arm chip.

At present, the only way for the M1 version of Mac to run Windows is through an emulator (virtual machine), so this is good news for Mac users, because Apple can also authorize Windows 11 to support M1 series devices, which can run the system natively for better performance.
