You can create and utilize a virtual machine on your Mac to test and develop across various operating systems, including access to Microsoft Office for Windows and Internet Explorer. Enjoy the benefits of running Windows applications efficiently without impacting the performance of your Mac. The software facilitates easy transfer of files, applications, and other data from your previous computer to your new Mac.
