Assuming the OP is buying a modern machine with an M series processor then they will be limited to running Windows ARM via VM. Direct X12 doesn't, OpenGL above 3.3 doesn't and certain IMEs don't work with Windows ARM.Martin_the_Unjust said:You can run windows virtually in a Mac which would allow you to run any of your must have windows specific programs.
