Windows 11 won’t be officially supported by any Intel Mac
— here’s why
4.完整新聞內文:
Microsoft on Thursday unveiled Windows 11, the next major update to its PC operating system. While it comes with a refreshed design and even the ability to run emulated Android apps, not everyone will be able to install the new version. In fact, Windows 11 won’t be officially supported by any Intel Mac.
大意：
微軟最近發表了windows 11，對於 PC 作業系統的下一個重大更新。雖然有蠻多更新的地方，但並不是每個使用者都可以用到。事實上，像是 intel Mac就不行。
Windows is typically known for running on several different machines, but this year, Microsoft seems to have chosen to increase the hardware requirements for running Windows 11. Once it becomes available, the update will require a 64-bit 1GHz or faster processor, at least 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, a DirectX 12 compatible graphics card, and support for TPM 2.0.
大意：
最主要的原因就是，你的電腦需要支援 TPM 2.0
What is TPM 2.0？
TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a chip built into the logic board or firmware of a computer to ensure the integrity of the operating system’s security, similar to what Secure Enclave does on Macs. It can control cryptographic keys, DRM management, and more.
The problem is, not every computer has TPM 2.0 since it was introduced in 2014. And when it comes to a custom-built desktop PC, there’s a high chance that it doesn’t have a TPM chip (although you can add one to it). In another document, Microsoft provides a list of every processor that can run Windows 11, and most of them were introduced after 2017.
大意：
TPM = Trusted Platform Module，一種跟電腦資安相關的模組，是2014年才提出的東西，而微軟列出的電腦大多是2017年後才支援。
Windows 11 on Macs
But what about Macs? Well, even if you have a Mac with the most recent generations of Intel processors (it’s worth noting that no Apple Silicon Mac runs Windows natively), you probably won’t be able to run Windows 11 on it — at least not officially.
Apple has never offered support for the TPM 2.0 standard on Intel Macs, which makes them all incompatible with the newest version of Windows. If you run the tool released by Microsoft to check if your PC has the hardware required to run Windows 11, you’ll get a message saying that “this PC can’t run Windows 11.”
In theory, Apple could update the firmware of its Intel machines to enable TPM 2.0 support using the processor, but this seems unlikely since Apple is slowly discontinuing Intel Macs and even the new M1 Macs are not compatible with any version of Windows.
In other words, for those who want to run Windows 11 on a Mac, the only option, for now, is to use a virtual machine as it will not work through Boot Camp. Windows 11 will arrive as a free update this fall. Meanwhile, you can join the Windows Insider beta program to test out the new OS now.
大意：
雖然2017年後的電腦支援，但是蘋果公司並沒有在intel Mac上支援這個模組，所以假如你想用Boot Camp來裝windows在Mac上，至少正規上(官方上)來說是無法的。所以目前的方式你只能開一個虛擬機器裝windows。而目前M1 Mac也都無法原生的跑windows （應該就是指只能裝ＶＭ吧）
