VMware Fusion is the best way to run Windows for free on Mac
If you need to run Windows on macOS and don't want to spend money, VMware is easily the best solution for you.
As much as I love macOS, growing up with Windows and getting accustomed to all of its apps and features means it's not always easy to make the transition completely. And even if I do prefer using macOS 95% of the time, there's the occasional little task that requires me to boot up Windows 11. Fortunately, virtualizing Windows on Mac, even with an Arm chip, has become more widely accessible than ever. And while I've praised Parallels Desktop in the past, I know not everyone has the money to spend on something like that.
