What operating system are you currently using?
But that’s not a problem i can install anything if Windows 7 is not good
Well, the problem is that Mac OSes cannot be installed (legally) on non-Apple hardware. You can do what’s called a “Hackintosh”, which is exactly that (google it for guides to do so, if you’d like). I suppose you could also use something like VMWare, and have a virtual machine, but products like that are expensive.
As @heresjohnny says, you can virtualize it. This is probably not legal to do, anymore than Hackintosh is. However, virtualization products are not necessarily expensive: for example, VirtualBox OSE is free and can probably get that job done.
@koanhead i tried to virtualize a mac in virtualbox but he says i don t have something at processor something to let s me virtualize a os
@yoyoo29 I don’t understand what you are trying to say. If virtualbox didn’t work for you, I’m sorry to hear it. I could help you try to troubleshoot it but “he says i don t have something at processor something” doesn’t give me much to go on- if you will post the actual error message here I will try my best.
You might try QEMU on KVM or Xen; as far as I know each of those is open source and therefore probably has some free version available.
@koanhead virtual box work but my processor don t have Virtualization Technology Support and to run mac in virtual box i need this
