Hello everyone in this article we are going to see how to set up Windows 10 ARM edition in M1 Mac using QEMU and benchmark it using GeekBench

Before introduction of M1 Mac Intel based Mac used BootCamp which allow the users to dual boot Windows in their Mac so that they can enjoy best of both worlds but in M1 Mac Boot Camp is not supported even though it comes with BootCamp installed when we try to open, it gives this error. Apple will fix it in future if Microsoft allows ARM Windows 10 edition to run in M1 Mac. But still ARM Windows 10 edition is still under insider preview so it may take some months or years.

QEMU is a free and open-source emulator and virtualizer that can perform hardware virtualization. QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor it emulates the machine’s processor through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of different hardware and device models for the machine, enabling it to run a variety of guest OS. It also can be used with Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) to run virtual machines at near-native speed (by taking advantage of hardware extensions such as Intel VT-x). QEMU can also do emulation for user-level processes, allowing applications compiled for one architecture to run on another.

Currently Windows 10 ARM is under preview and one can download it by joining Microsoft Insider program and download the VHDX file
