Why Windows Emulators?
There are a variety of reasons you’d want to Emulate the Windows OS into your MacOS. Some of the most common reasons are:
- To make the system able to run games (MacOS isn’t compatible with running games).
- Be able to run applications that can run only on Windows OS.
- Your previous system was a Windows OS and you want to familiarize yourself with your new system without being overwhelmed.
Before, MacOS processors weren’t made with Intel products, it was made with Apple Silicon. Hence it was incompatible with Windows OS and emulating it was next to impossible. But, modern MacBook processors use Intel-manufactured products, similar to the processors of Windows OS (may use AMD/Ryzen too depending on the brand you have) and hence, it is possible to dual-boot both MacOS and Windows OS or even emulate Windows OS in MacOS.
