How to Run Windows 10 on MacBook Air with UTM

If you're looking for a way to run Windows 10 on your MacBook Air without breaking the bank, you're in luck. With UTM, a free virtualization app, you can install and run Windows 10 alongside macOS with ease.

Before we dive in, make sure you have at least 100 GB of free space on your drive. The free version of UTM doesn't include a built-in update mechanism, so you'll need to manually check for and download updates to keep it up to date.

UTM is an app that contains all the software of QEMU, but in a user-friendly GUI. It's quite simple to install and set up Windows with UTM, with no command-line configuration required. In fact, UTM looks a bit like Parallels Desktop, making it easy to get started.

To run Windows 10 on your MacBook Air with UTM, you'll need to download the app from its website or purchase it for $10 from the Mac App Store. Once installed, you can start setting up Windows by following the in-app instructions.

One of the best things about UTM is that it's completely free (with optional payment). You won't find any hidden fees or subscription models here. Plus, with UTM, you get a free version of Windows 11 Pro, which is a great bonus.

If you're not familiar with virtualization software, don't worry. UTM makes it easy to set up and run Windows on your Mac. With no command-line configuration required, you can start using Windows right away.

For those who want to move forward with Apple's M1 or M2 silicon, there's another option: virtualization. While few Macs are still available that let you dual-boot Windows or run Windows apps natively with an Intel processor, UTM offers a free and easy way to get started.

In this article, we'll show you how to run Windows 10 on your MacBook Air with UTM for free, including the free version of Windows 11 Pro. With UTM, you can say goodbye to expensive virtualization software and hello to seamless Windows integration on your Mac.
