## FAQs

AThere are two primary methods: \- Virtual Machine \(VM\): Runs macOS inside an app \(like VMware Workstation or VirtualBox\) while Windows stays running. Safe, easy to set up, but offers slower performance. \- Hackintosh: Installs macOS directly onto your PC's physical drive alongside or instead of Windows. Fast and native\-feeling, but complex to set up and hardware\-dependent.

ANo. There is currently no way to emulate or virtualize Apple Silicon chips on PC hardware. You can only install older x86 \(Intel\-based\) versions of macOS.

ANo. macOS only includes drivers for hardware Apple has used in its own computers. \-Supported: Older Intel processors \(up to 10th Gen\) and select AMD Radeon graphics cards. \- Not Supported: Nvidia graphics cards \(in modern macOS versions\), modern Intel integrated graphics \(11th Gen and newer\), and AMD CPUs without custom kernel patches.
