We’ve all seen a boatload of M1 Macs performance runs, showing that Apple’s newest 5nm chip is impressive in nearly all situations. Another situation when these models handily beat Microsoft’s Surface Pro X, another machine running an ARM chip, is when it comes to Windows virtualization. Using an unofficial method, one YouTuber shows that running virtualization mode is possible on these Macs, and they’re also faster than a device that’s tailor-made to run Windows 10.

The unofficial Windows virtualization process was completed by Martin Nobel, who demonstrated it on the M1 Mac mini given in the video below. He reveals how he was able to get Windows 10 running on the new machine while also demonstrating that despite using an unofficial workaround, the M1 chip is faster than the silicon running in the Surface Pro X, which, to remind you, is the SQ1.
