Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac.If you encrypt a Boot Camp Windows partition with the encryption software UCSF provides, your computer might fail to operate properly, potentially causing you to lose data that has not been backed up.You might be sent to prison or held personally liable for damages if your device containing legally protected data on an unencrypted partition is lost or stolen.

Your device might be refused connection to the UCSF network when attempting to connect from an unencrypted partition.

If you choose not to comply with this policy: If approved, install Boot Camp, then encrypt the Mac partition. NOT RECOMMENDED BUT ACCEPTABLE: If the Windows partition in question will never hold legally protected data, request a device encryption waiver. You’re welcome to use Parallels Desktop or VirtualBox, but UCSF does not provide support for those applications. Of these three choices – Fusion, Parallels Desktop, and VirtualBox – we recommend Fusion, because (1) UCSF students, faculty and staff are eligible to receive a free license to VMware Fusion through our VMware Academic Program Subscription and (2) UCSF IT supports it. With this solution, you may use either the Mac or Windows for UCSF business, research or studies. RECOMMENDED: Remove Boot Camp, encrypt the Mac partition and install Windows using virtualization software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop for Mac or Oracle VM VirtualBox. How to use Windows on a Mac with an Intel processor at UCSF Consequently, Boot Camp may be used at UCSF in only two scenarios. (Details: Device Encryption.) A UCSF Information Technology team spent many months with feedback from parties across the entire University when selecting an enterprise-wide solution to protect UCSF computers with encryption.Īlthough this solution fits UCSF’s needs very well in nearly all cases, it does not protect the Boot Camp Windows partition in a manner consistent with University policy.

UCSF policy requires almost all computers to be encrypted. ADVISORY: Running Windows on Apple silicon Macs is not supported by UCSF IT until further notice as we only support current Windows versions that are developed for Intel processors at this time, not ARM-based processors like Apple's M1 and M2 chips.
