Here I explain how to install Windows on a Mac using the (free) virtualization software, VirtualBox.

VirtualBox is free software that allows you to install different operating systems on your machine. Google shazam online sa prevodom. By using VirtualBox, you can install Windows on your Mac. This enables you to run Windows-only applications on your Mac.

Here are the main steps involved in installing Windows on a Mac:

1. Download and Install VirtualBox
2. Create a Virtual Machine
3. Download and Install Windows

Here they are in more detail.

Download and Install VirtualBox

To run Windows on a Mac, you need to use virtualization software such as VirtualBox. While there are other options available (such as Parallels and VMware Fusion), VirtualBox is free. And while Bootcamp is also a free option, it doesn't let you run macOS and Windows simultaneously (you have to reboot the machine every time you want to switch to the other operating system). So with VirtualBox you get the best of both worlds — it's free, and it allows you to run both Windows and macOS simultaneously so you can switch between them as required without having to reboot.

1. Download VirtualBox

   Go to the VirtualBox download page and click OS X Hosts.

2. Install VirtualBox

   Double-click the VirtualBox.pkg icon to install VirtualBox. This will enable you to run VirtualBox from your Applications folder.

Create a Virtual Machine

Now that you've installed VirtualBox, you can create a virtual machine. This virtual machine is where you'll install Windows.

1. Launch VirtualBox

   Launch VirtualBox via the Applications folder (just as you'd launch any other application).

2. Start the Wizard

   Click New to start the process of creating a new virtual machine.

3. Name and Operating System

   Enter a name for the virtual machine (make it descriptive, such as Windows 10 or similar).

   Also choose Microsoft Windows and select the 64 bit version (unless you have reason to choose the 32 bit version).

   Click Continue.

4. Set the Memory Allocation

   Use the slider to specify how much memory is allocated to the virtual machine. I selected 4 GB (4000 MB), which should be sufficient to run SQL Server inside Windows. If your Mac has a lot more RAM, then you might be able to allocate more to the virtual machine.

   Click Continue.

5. Hard Disk

   Leave it at the default setting and click Create.

6. Hard Disk File Type

   Leave it at the default setting and click Continue.

7. Storage on Physical Hard Disk

   Leave it at the default setting and click Continue.

8. File Location and Size

   Leave it at the default setting and click Create.
