the new cpu from apple used the ARM cpu architecture where the version of

windows microsoft sells rely on the intel x86/x64 cpu architecture


microsoft currently don't sell a windows version that run on the arm cpu to end users, so you have to rely on

using a virtual machine from parallels, vmware or the likes


if you want to know more
