Running MacOS on Win PC

[Aphelien]

Hello!

I need to run Logic Pro X but I own a Windows laptop and I have no intention of purchasing a Macbook. I looked it up and every person was saying to do it through a Virtual Emulator. I am not a tech savvy person so if anyone could help me figure out how i can run Mac OS on my laptop, I'd really appreciate it.

if you want to run modern versions of macOS, its not possible to do it in a VM as far as i'm aware. Apple has patched the many ways people tried to do it. The only remaining way is a hackintosh but that requires you or a friend to own a mac in the first place.

 

sorry bud, but you can't do what you want with apple. it's called a walled garden for a reason.

It would all depend on your hardware, and you would likely need to wipe your hard drive during the process.

Also its against terms of service so if it is for anything official you really shouldn't.

I do have a friend who owns a mac. I think I require it to obtain an os file if i am not wrong. And i realize that it is tough but i simply cannot spend that much money for a laptop just to use it for one software.

well thats what apple is trying to do... buy a device for that 1 thing that doesn't work on windows. You need to find an alternative or deal with sketchy apps for virtualization. 

 

What you could try though, is running some sort of translation layer through linux. if i'm not wrong, linux and macOS share many core level things so an app similar to WINE (but for mac apps instead of win32 apps) might let you run macOS.
