"VirtualBox is a GUI virtual machine manager that works on Linux, MacOS, and Windows and allows for the running of nearly any operating system you need. With VirtualBox, you can run Windows as a guest OS, so those apps you need run natively (on the Windows guest). You might be thinking, "But won't I need a Windows license?" You can download an ISO image for Windows from the official download site."
"Once you have the ISO, you can create your virtual machine, install Windows, and then install whatever application you need. Yes, this method does require a few extra steps to accomplish, but in the end, you'll have a full-blown Windows installation and can use it as needed. You will want to enable bidirectional clipboard, shared folders, and drag and drop (all of which can be done from the Devices menu). VirtualBox is free to install and use."
MacOS can run Windows applications through multiple methods including virtual machines, Wine-based compatibility layers, and proprietary solutions. VirtualBox enables a full Windows guest OS on Mac, allowing native execution of Windows apps after installing a Windows ISO and enabling features like bidirectional clipboard, shared folders, and drag-and-drop. Wine implementations such as Kegworks (successor to Wineskin) provide compatibility without a full Windows install and support recent macOS versions. Some tools are free while others require purchase or a Windows license for a full guest installation. These options enable access to hundreds of thousands of Windows applications on Mac systems.
