Hi, I have the intel mac mini from 2018 and it runs fine without a screen connected. Bootcamp also runso fine on it although I know longer have bootcamp setup, but either way it should work.

That means any Mac with Apple Silicon will not run Boot Camp. I do not use a Mac without a monitor, nor do I use a Mac with Boot Camp, running windows, therefore, I cannot answer your question. - Brad - On Sep 22, 2022, at 08:26, 'Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: Thank you, Brad for this. I’d consider an intel based mac mini. I have no sight so a monitor is of little use to me but will mac mini run properly without it and more importantly will Windows be happy running in bootcamp without a monitor? Won’t there be issues of either the mac os or Windows demanding a monitor be present? Regarding the silicon imac 24 inch, I assume it won’t run windows in bootcamp either?
