To run Mac operating system on Windows computer we need a special virtualization software, called Virtual Box. It is available to download for free and is an open source.
After the download, the next step is to simply start the Virtual Box installation. It will install with default settings. Also, it is possible to change the parameters, if it is necessary. For example, it is possible to change the location of where the operating system image will be stored. Operating system image is the operating system, which is installed and run virtually on Windows.

Here I will use Mac OS X Snow Leopard to install Mac operating virtually on Windows. As shown in the image, it is necessary to press the new button to install Mac, select the operating system Mac OS from the list, leave or change default parameters and then the installation process will begin. The installation after this point is similar to normal Mac OS installation on the Mac computer. May There is a slight possibility that it may take longer.

It is important to know that this way installed Mac OS, will run slower than on the Mac computer. But it will be almost analogous to the real operating system. It is even possible to access the DVD drive and USB.

Photoshop will probably be difficult to use on the virtual operating system.
