Running macOS and Windows 10 on the Same Computer

A well-organized design workspace with dual monitors and design software on display.
  1. Dual-Booting:
  • Use Apple’s Boot Camp Assistant (for Intel-based Macs) to create a separate partition for Windows 10.
  • Install Windows 10 on the partition and restart your Mac to switch between macOS and Windows 10.
  1. Virtualization:
  • Install virtualization software like Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox on your Mac.
  • Create a virtual machine (VM) and install Windows 10 within the VM.
  • Run Windows 10 alongside macOS without restarting your Mac.

Both options allow you to use macOS and Windows 10 on the same computer, but dual-booting requires restarting to switch between operating systems, while virtualization allows simultaneous use.
