We recommend Parallels Desktop 19, which is the newest version of the longtime Mac virtualization software and can let you run virtual machines of macOS, Windows, and Linux. Thankfully, this process isn't that complicated with the right tools. Since Silicon Macs can't use Boot Camp, the only way to install Windows is through a VM. However, while this program is still available for Macs with Intel processors, no Mac with an Apple Silicon chip has access. This is different from running a VM, which creates a virtual operating system within your main operating system. It installed Windows by partitioning your storage device, essentially creating two completely separate operating systems, a process more commonly known as dual-booting. Apple previously used built-in software called Boot Camp that would help you install Windows on your Mac.
