But, judging from your comments and the PCMag article, it appears that virtualization is virtualization no matter the host, and the 64 vs 32-bit issue is rendered moot.

There are no inherent hardware/software incompatibilities since the Mac and the OS are capable of running 32-bit or 64-bit apps.īecause macOS Catalina runs only 64-bit apps, the situation is a bit different, which is why I was hoping to hear from folks who actually have tried this technique on Catalina. I also have virtual Win 10 and Mac OS Lion 10.7 virtual machines on this Mac. I currently use VMware Fusion to run a Windows 7 virtual machine on my Mac (native High Sierra).

And even if it doesn't, you've only spent a few minutes to potentially save yourself several hundred dollars and all the hassles that come with Windows.Yes, in theory there should be no problems. If your program runs under CrossOver you're good to go with the easiest, least expensive, and friendliest Windows compatibility software out there. We also maintain a large Compatibility Center database of user reports, documenting how various Windows applications run in CrossOver.

That's why we encourage everyone to try their favorite Windows applications first in our 14-day, completely functional trial of CrossOver and see for before purchasing. Many Windows applications work great, but some might have reduced functionality, or possibly not run at all. This translation system means you don't need to spend hours setting up Windows OS first, you can just install your Windows application directly into CrossOver and run it.īut it's a big process to try and recreate all the Windows OS commands, and CrossOver isn't complete yet. Unlike an emulator that requires a full copy of the Window OS, CrossOver translates the commands your Windows application wants to use to your installed OS and back. KICK IT!
