One thing you can't do on a Windows PC is run a VM of a Mac, well not easily and certainly not legally.

Can you run a Mac VM on a Mac though?

Yes. You can also run a Mac VM 0n Windows but the Apple’s T&Cs prohibit MacOS being run on non Apple hardware.

Yeah, I've been trying it with Big Sur tonight but it's horrendously slow so I gave up on that idea. I just need the real thing.

Do you not own a Mac then?

I have previously but for one reason or another (mainly because I miss gaming) got rid of them all. With the likes of GeForce Now and Xbox cloud gaming, I think I could cope better. And I really, really want to start tinkering about with Swift.

I tried downloading the latest Windows ARM version of Libreoffice but it wouldn't install. So I downloaded an older version from here...

https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/?C=M;O=D

Then it installed and updated itself to the latest version anyway. Going to start using Libreoffice instead of Openoffice on main Windows 11 PC now as well. I ran a non ARM edition of Openoffice on Windows 11 ARM edition and it didn't run very well. Libreoffice is so much better.
