Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's talk about emulating Windows on a Mac.

Stay tuned.

This is Twitter.

dual boot into Windows or MacOS was taken away. And now we have to go to third parties to do so.

But there's something important to understand.

So Lance was talking about how his friend downloaded the Windows 11 on Arm ISO from Microsoft,
