We can’t rule out the possibility of Microsoft relaxing its Windows 10 on ARM licensing policy and extending it to Macs. The software giant has been working with Apple to get its Office apps running on the new chip architecture, and those programs will supposedly be ready when Apple ships the first ARM Macs later this year. Microsoft knew about Apple’s intentions of moving to a custom ARM-based CPU long before the move was announced at WWDC last week. When asked by The Verge if Microsoft would allow an exception for Boot Camp, the company said “we have nothing further to share at this time.” As reported by The Verge, Microsoft only licenses Windows 10 on ARM to PC vendors making “Always-connected PCs” or those with Qualcomm processors. The compatibility issue has as much to do with licensing as hardware. Those who purchase an upcoming MacBook running on Apple’s custom silicone won’t have this option. ![]() MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Which MacBook Should You Buy?macOS Big Sur revealed with a redesigned interfaceHow to Dual-Boot Windows and macOS on a Mac With this built-in utility, Mac owners could use their Apple laptops as personal notebooks and switch to Windows if a certain program (or video game) was required for work or school. ![]() For the uninitiated, Boot Camp is a macOS feature that lets you install Windows 10 on your Mac and switch between operating systems when you restart your system.
