How to Install Windows 11 on a MacBook

Fishon Amos -

Installing Windows 11 on a Mac can be a great way to access Windows-exclusive software or games while still enjoying the sleek hardware of an Apple device.

In this article, we will show you how to install Windows 11 on your Mac using Boot Camp Assistant, a built-in utility provided by Apple that helps you run Windows on your Mac in a dual-boot configuration.

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure your Mac meets the following requirements:

  • Compatible Mac model: Check Apple's official website to ensure your Mac model supports Windows 11.
  • Sufficient storage: You'll need at least 64GB of free storage on your Mac, though 128GB or more is recommended for the best experience.
  • A full copy of Windows 11: You'll need a Windows 11 ISO file. You can download this from Microsoft’s website after purchasing it or as part of your MSDN subscription.
  • External USB drive (optional): Needed only if your Mac doesn’t include a built-in SD card slot or if you need additional storage for the installation process.
