To run Windows on an M1 Mac, you can use tools and projects that facilitate the evaluation and porting of Windows applications to Apple Silicon. One of the key tools mentioned at WWDC is the Game Porting Toolkit, which allows you to evaluate and port Windows games to Apple devices. This toolkit includes an evaluation environment that supports various game technologies, including AVX instructions and ray tracing, to help you understand how your game will perform on Apple Silicon before starting the porting process.
