It has become more difficult to implement the Windows experience on a Mac computer with the advent of Apple's own chipsets: the Boot Camp assistant that Apple developed and that enabled dual-booting doesn't work at all on Apple silicon computers, while emulators like Parallels aren't as easy to use on these newer systems either.

With that in mind, if you need to get a Windows application running on macOS, it’s easier to focus on that one app rather than trying to emulate the entire operating system. There are a few easy-to-use tools for macOS that can help with this, allowing you to bring your favorite Windows apps over to your Mac without too much hassle.

Wineskin is the free option here, and it uses the Homebrew package manager. You'll need to open Terminal on macOS, type the following command, and then hit Enter:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
