If you want to be able to run Windows 10 (or another version of Windows) on your Macbook, you have a choice between installing Windows alongside macOS or running virtualization software and creating a Windows virtual machine. In the first case you will have two operating systems (macOS and Windows) installed and will be able to select at startup which one to run. In the second case you will have an app which will act as a virtual computer; you will be able to open the app and run Windows inside of it. When it comes to virtualization software, Oracle’s VirtualBox is an excellent free alternative to Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion. This articles provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VirtualBox and create a Windows virtual machine.
