How to install Windows 11 absolutely free on any Mac in 20 minutes. Checked it, it works

Installing Windows on a modern Mac is not an obvious process. Training Camp no more, but some tasks still need to be done in the usual Windows.

Many people run to bet Parallelsthen I ran there, saw the sanctions restrictions and the fact that this whole thing costs money, which is also not accepted with a Russian card.

From tonight there is a common path: it is almost no worse, famous and functional. This WMware Fusion 13 Prowho became settings “For personal use” for all users.

Now let’s talk where to download WMware Fusion 13 Pro itself for free and how to install virtual Windows 11 on a Mac with any chip (also for free). I will only violate, I don’t know, terrible US sanctions – but excuse me, we are not really interested in the alternative.

Why not parallels?

Because the guys are too greedy.

I don’t like Parallels because of the way they do business. The company releases a new version of the virtualizer every year carefully for the release of the next macOS, and then abandons it six months later in order to miraculously fix the accumulated bugs in the next (paid) version. The old one, of course, either does not work in any system or is buggy.

Relatively recently, they got a subscription to the latest version, but, naturally, it is not paid for with a Russian card.

Meanwhile, VMware has gotten better over the years. And now there are settings in general. Not really VMware playernamely WMware Fusion – also a version About. For games, rails is still a little better, but for everything else there is no point in installing anything other than Fusion.

How to Install WMware Fusion Pro 13 for Free on Mac

Wow, how scary. What to do…

There are two ways. First – very long and uninteresting. WMware belongs to Broadcom, and Broadcom has the right to honor. To download the new free version of WMware Fusion, you need to go to the Broadcom technical support site, register with a foreign IP address, make sure that you are not violating the license…

Russian way, instant: download the file from here. All.

Next keep Job on installing WMware Fusion 13 Pro and operating Windows 11 on Mac.

1. During the first installation, a WMware prompt will activate the key. Select an option I want to get a license… for personal use.

Personally will you use Windows? OK it’s all over Now. So, wow, we do everything legally. Let’s continue.

2. Next click Get Windows from Microsoft.

In the language selection window, you can change nothing or select the Russian language (it is not available for everyone). After this, the download of the Windows 11 installation distribution (about 4 GB) will begin.

3. In the window Select firmware type check the box next to it UEFI Secure Boot.

Next, in the window Select encryption click on Automatically generate password. It’s saved on your Mac, so you don’t have to remember it.

4. When you get to the menu Select virtual disk, you don’t have to touch anything. The disk capacity can then be increased to the required size by setting 64 GB to be sufficient.

Finally, we press End.

5. The machine status settings window will open. Here you can go to the Processors & Memory menu and specify how many CPU cores and RAM your Mac needs to run Windows 11.

The more you give, the slower macOS will work when the virtual machine is activated. On Pro, Max and Ultra series chips, you don’t have to waste too much time on trifles and give Windows from half to 2/3 of the available cores.

6. You are now ready to start installing Windows 11. Click on the Play icon, then on any button when the text “Press any key to…” appears.

The normal installation of Windows 11 begins. If you’ve done this at least once in your life (and you definitely have), you’ll figure it out without me.

7. In 20-30 minutes you have Windows 11 completely ready for any work task.

You will figure out the activation yourself. You can use the system without it for 30 days, and then the classic Microsoft jokes will begin.

Enjoy.
