In a word, Yes. However, you must be running a supported version of Windows on your MAC with system resource that meet or exceed our System Requirements.
What you'll need
- Supported version of MAC OSX (check Apple's site, please)
- Your own copy of Parallels or another virtual machine platform (assuming you are running Apple's "M" processor...)
- Your own licensed copy of Windows 10 (see PlanSwift System requirements above for supported OSes)
- Technical skills to set up and install the aforementioned software
Bootcamp or Parallels?
There are two ways to run Windows on a MAC:
- Bootcamp - this is a separate partition from the MAC operating system (MAC OSX) on which a stand-alone installation of Windows is running. This allows the user to run Windows or MAC OSX but not both at the same time. Because this is a just a regular installation of Windows, you do not need to run any virtualization software - but you must own a license for whatever version of Windows you are going to install. (Most new MACs run on the same processors as Windows-based machines (Intel) just be sure your computer is Windows-compatible - contact Apple if necessary.)
- Newer Apple computers run proprietary "M" processors that do not support dual-booting with Windows anymore. If your computer uses an "M" processor, your only option is to use a virtual machine (such as Parallels).
- Parallels (or any other virtualization product) - this product allows a MAC OSX user to run a virtualized installation of Windows within the MAC OSX environment. This is not a stand-alone installation of Windows, it is sort of like running Windows within a window, so to speak. You start Parallels (or whatever virtualization software you use) after you log into MAC OSX. Virtualization software is not included with Apple's OSes - you must purchase Parallels or whatever you're going to use separately. You also have to own a licensed copy of Windows to install in your virtual environment. Your MAC must meet the requirements for the Parallels software or whichever emulator you choose.
