A1418 EMC 2544 iMac13,1 What is a 2012 iMac good for? - Handles the current Microsoft 365 web apps, Slack, 30-tab Chrome sessions, and 1080p YouTube without breaking a sweat. - Decodes 1080p h.264 smoothly - Photo editing: Lightroom Classic 13 (Catalina-compatible) still exports RAWs in reasonable time; iMovie 10 edits 1080p footage acceptably. - Gaming: GT 650M equals ~Intel UHD 630; e-sports staples (CS:GO, Rocket League) hit 60 fps at 720 p–900 p Is it worth installing Windows 11 on this? Windows 11 mandates TPM 2.0 and a 2018-or-newer CPU. The 2012 iMac ships with neither, so installers must bypass checks (e.g., Rufus BIOS/UEFI media). Performance under Boot Camp is roughly on par with macOS Catalina. It's fine for Office, web, and 1080 p video, but gamers must drop to 720 p. Feature gaps: • No firmware TPM = Windows 11 shows a watermark and may block cumulative updates. • Boot Camp audio drivers are flaky post-23H2; expect manual tweaks. • Future Windows 11 24H2 builds tighten the bypass loophole.
