This is a quick video showing how to install Windows 11 ARM on the M1 Mac using the open source application UTM 3.0.0. I explore some of the issues with installing using UTM 2.4.1 which is very buggy when installing Windows 11 ARM. However the method I outline is much more reliable and I have tested this on two different Macs. I also test out Fallout 2 running through UTM, the software runs but more demanding games won’t perform as well.
