Apple Silicon Macs require ARM-based Windows 10 through virtualization. Install Parallels Desktop (paid) or UTM (free), then download the Windows 10 ARM ISO from Microsoft's Insider Program. In Parallels, select "Install Windows" and follow prompts—the software handles drivers automatically. Note: x86 apps run via emulation with performance tradeoffs.

Alternative for Intel Macs (Boot Camp):
If using an Intel-based MacBook Pro, hold Option at startup with a Windows 10 USB (FAT32-formatted). Use Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) to partition your drive and install. Drivers install automatically post-setup. For best performance, allocate at least 64GB to Windows and disable macOS startup disk encryption first.

Use a virtual machine to run Windows 10 on your Mac. Here are the steps:

Download and install virtualization software, such as Parallels Desktop or the free UTM.
Obtain the Windows 10 ISO file, which can be downloaded from Microsoft’s official website.
Open the virtualization software, follow the prompts to create a new virtual machine, and load the Windows 10 ISO file.
Complete the Windows 10 installation by following the setup wizard.
Install the required software within the virtual machine, and you’re ready to use it.
