    Question Do programs work on macOS?

    I wanted to download a few programs and realized they're all meant for Windows users. I'm currently running under macOS, is there a way for me to make those programs work anyway?
    Sorry, I'm not good at technology

    Thank you for your help!

    I'm afraid not, @(you need an account to see links). Some users claim to have had limited success by running Windows programs through Wine on Mac, but we don't have any officially supported means of using our programs outside of Windows. You may be able to use some of our Python programs, however any solution that requires a username and password to log into Neopets instead of borrowing your browser's cookies might have issues with StackPath interruptions.

    I've managed to install Windows on my MacBook Pro using BootCamp, that way you can dual boot either Mac OS or Windows. So, I think that might be your best option.

    There are virtual machine softwares that allow you to run windows while also running macOS on your mac laptop, or you can bootcamp into it as well as j03 said!

    I've used BootCamp in the past but have really enjoyed Parallels for the last 5 years or so - its much more convenient and a wee bit more idiot proof (which I am - an idiot I mean).
