Boot Camp Update 6.1.17, released to the public earlier this week, adds support for the Studio Display and updates drivers for AMD and Intel GPUs. To update to the latest Boot Camp drivers, users need to navigate to the Start menu in Windows and open the Apple Software Update app.


When connected to any Windows PC, the Studio Display's Center Stage, True Tone, and Spatial Audio functionality won't work, as will any features that require software updates. The webcam, speakers, and ports will continue to function, but much like the Pro Display XDR, the Studio Display works best with macOS. Apple silicon-based Macs do not officially support Windows, and there is no Boot Camp capability as there is on Intel Macs, thus the update will only benefit users who have purchased the new Studio Display but have an older machine with Boot Camp installed. Because to an exclusive agreement with Qualcomm, Microsoft has decided not to make a version of Windows 11 accessible for Apple's M1 series of Macs. When you consider some of the other features, it's truly more than simply a display. Meanwhile, an Apple official informed The Verge that it should operate perfectly on a Windows PC, despite the fact that it is not the intended platform. When attached to a Windows PC, the 12MP camera should perform similarly to a standard USB webcam.
