Boot Camp Assistant assists users with installing Windows on their Intel Mac using Boot Camp. [57] It does not support Macs with Apple silicon processors , as Microsoft does not have a commercial version of Windows 10 that runs on ARM-based processors.
The M1 13-inch MacBook Pro was released alongside an updated MacBook Air and Mac Mini as the first generation of Macs with Apple's new line of custom ARM-based Apple silicon processors.

Target Disk Mode is useful for accessing the contents of a Mac which cannot load its own operating system.

When Mac OS X Leopard released on October 26, 2007, patches were created to remove the HPET requirement from the kernel. Efforts were also made to emulate the SSSE3 instruction set for processors that did not support it. The kernel used by OS X Mavericks made use of SSSE3 instructions, requiring those patches.
