Hi, Yesterday my 2012 imac died. I’m trying to decide what to buy. I’m thinking of getting a mac mini with M1 chip. My questions are: 1. Could I run windows in bootcamp on it? 2. What sort of monitor I need to get? I don’t thinkk it comes with a monitor. Many thanks Andrew -- The followin

A Mac with Apple silicon will not run Bootcamp. There are some other options, but there may be some accessibility issues with some of these options. Apple does still sell a Mac mini with an Intel processor, and this Mac will run bootcamp. A Mac mini does not require a monitor to function, howeve

Thank you, Brad for this. I’d consider an intel based mac mini. I have no sight so a monitor is of little use to me but will mac mini run properly without it and more importantly will Windows be happy running in bootcamp without a monitor? Won’t there be issues of either the mac os or Windows

As I said, a Mac with Apple Silicon will not run Boot Camp. That means any Mac with Apple Silicon will not run Boot Camp. I do not use a Mac without a monitor, nor do I use a Mac with Boot Camp, running windows, therefore, I cannot answer your question. - Brad - On Sep 22, 2022, at 08:26, 'And

You don’t have to spend much on a monitor for your Mac mini. Just anything with an HDMI 2.0 or Thunderbolt will do. Guess which one is cheaper? I bought my monitor used for $50. I used it with a 2011 Mac mini and am now using it with a Mac mini M1 2020. No problem with either machine, thoug

You can use windows on an M1 Mac mini. The only way I found to do this is to download a program called UTM. You then need to get an ISO image of Windows 11, the version of Windows that seems to run on ARM processors, and install that into UTM. The setup was a little bit tricky, but definitely d
