Hello,
I'm going to buy a MacBook(m2) and run Windows on it. My question is can I install the Windows apps directly on it, or should I find a different edition of the app?
Can I use my current license to activate it? The license is linked to my MS account.
Do I have any limitations in Windows on Mac?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello
Thank you for your question and reaching out.
Note: You will need to acquire a separate license for Windows 11 Pro if you do not already have one. A unique license is required for each instance of Windows 11 Pro that you are running, either on a hardware.

I think you did not understand what I mean.
I want to know if I can install all the apps and games available for Windows on the ARM edition or if it's limited to some apps.
I know I can not activate Windows on two machines simultaneously. I want to see if I can activate Windows with a standard license or if I should buy a special permit for the ARM edition.
Can I not install Bootcamp on M1 and M2 chips?
