Can I use my MacBook?

The software for your program needs a Windows-based PC. There is software that allows your Mac to run Windows (to act as a PC). To do this, you’ll need to buy and install the software to allow Windows to run on your Mac and you’ll need to buy the latest version of Windows. We recommend you seek advice from a computer specialist.
