How to Install Windows 10 on Your MacBook Air M1 with Boot Camp Assistant

Installing Windows 10 on your MacBook Air M1 with Boot Camp Assistant is a relatively straightforward process. The software, which comes factory-installed on your Mac, is specifically designed to help you install Windows operating systems on your computer.

To get started, launch Boot Camp Assistant on your Mac and click Continue. You'll be prompted to download the Windows 10 ISO file from the official Windows website. This file is nearly 6GB in size, so depending on your internet connection and speed, it could take up to 30 minutes to finish downloading.

Once the ISO file has finished downloading, choose your language and click on Confirm. Hit Confirm again to wait for your request to be verified. Then, click on Select Edition and choose Windows 10 (multi-edition ISO).

Before you start, make sure you have a few things ready:

* A power connection (if you're on a laptop)

* 64GB or more free storage space on your startup disk

* An Intel-based Mac computer (if your computer is on this list, it's not supported)

If you see the words 'Processor' followed by the name of an Intel processor, like '2.6GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7,' then you have an Intel- based Mac.

It's also a good idea to back up your disk with Time Machine before partitioning just in case something goes wrong.

To download the Windows 10 ISO file, go to this Windows software download page on your Mac. You can download a free disc image (also known as an ISO file) of Windows 10 from the official Windows website.

Windows 11 is not currently compatible with Boot Camp Assistant on MacOS, so you'll need to download Windows 10 instead.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install Windows 10 on your MacBook Air M1 using Boot Camp Assistant.
