I'm sure you can set up some sort of VM to do this right?
Bootcamp if you have an older intel Mac. It's pretty much free to use if you have a windows license key.
Parallels is the user friendly VM. It's remarkably expensive now though. And you still need a windows license. IIRC anyway.
Is this the way to go?
Neither is free. If the niche program is undemanding, a cheapo used laptop might actually be cheaper than running parallels long term.

A mate uses a mac but has a niche work specific program that can only be run on a PC. They were wondering a about grabbing a cheap PC to run it.
However, I'm sure you can set up some sort of VM to do this right? Is this the way to go? And/or are there any other options they should look into?
Idk enough about their requirements, but I guess it would also be handy if they could copy information from it to then input into whatever mac CAD app they are running.
Cheers.
