I was using BOotcam, is it not working these days?

As no Mac is capable of natively running Windows 11, you must use virtualization software like Parallels or UTM in order to install it.

Why, necessarily, do you need windows 11? Windows tennis still good enough for yousag

I do not have 10 or 11, so when installing, i'm thinking for updated thingy.
but how we will boot after installing Parallels?

If you have an Intel Mac, download the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft, once that’s downloaded open Boot Camp, go through the steps until it asks you to select the windows image, find the ISO image you just downloaded and then install, note that for some reason it won’t let you choose the storage size, plug-in some headphones as well because the audio drivers aren’t installed on Windows installation screen, then press control, alt no press control plus windows which is the command key and enter to enter the right and go for the usual windows installation steps, once you’re done it will automatically boot into windows and go to the set up screen set up windows as usual
if the drivers aren’t automatically installed go back to Mac West by shutting down your computer pressing the option key on boot and pressing ivy up or down arrow keys and then pressing enter, you’ll go to the West, go back to the boot utility, go to the money bar and select download Support software, then you can use Windows perfectly, no virtualisation required on Windows 10

so, BOotcam will not run on windows 11 but it will be ok on 10, right?

Boot Camp will run perfectly fine with Windows 10, I know this, as I was running Windows 10 for a small period of time on my MacBook Air
Just make sure to keep your charger around the battery life might be a tiny bit worse on Windows than on Mac
Oh, and, make sure to keep everything backed up so if you did decide to erase your windows drive you don’t erase anything in the process
