hi all,

apologies for asking this again, but, unfortunately i’m in need for a pc
again for like 5 hours or so - i can’t get a specific software to run on my
mac. does the hackspace have some old windows pc i could use for this? (i
would need to install a software though).

thanks again for the help.

If you can get https://www.virtualbox.org/ working you can install Windows or Linux in a VM.

You can might be able to convince someone to give you a windows XP licence from somewhere now, it’s not supported anymore.

hi will,

just to let you know that using the virtual machine you’ve suggested worked
fantastic (thanks to the ssd and ram upgrade i did last year).

thanks again for giving me the idea. :slight_smile:
