    Do you mean the opposite? Run windows on a Mac? There is not a legal way to run macOS on windows

    If you do it you abandon the protection Apple offers.  You would pretty much be running a Windows 11 in an apple case.  You would be better off running it as a Mac and learn the new commands and shortcuts.  Is not that hard, I just started doing it myself a couple weeks ago.  As I mentioned in my other post, Logos runs smoother and is lightning fast!

    Kind of. However, I don't think that was his question. After reading his post again it sounds like he wants to run Mac on Windows... which as I said above, isn't legal. 

    To play the hypothetical game... there is no compelling reason to do so and it would be a headache to set up and maintain. If someone wants to run Mac, they should do so natively on Mac. 

    Running Windows on Mac is a different issue. There are reasons to do so and with the older Intel chipsets, a Mac <can> simply be a windows computer. Windows can be run natively on an Intel Mac. This will cease to be true once the migration to Apple Silicon is complete.

    Maybe I should clarify.... What about running a vitural machine in  windows to run apple?

    As JT has pointed out - it would be illegal, would probably be inefficient if accomplished, and would be perverse in concept.
