Apple make a very large range of machines which are all unique to them. They can be divided up into phones (iPhone), tablets (iPads) and various laptop and desktops (iMacs etc). The iMacs are very roughly comparable to Windows PCs whilst IPads and iPhones do not have the features to use as a general work computer.
M'n'G designs software is designed to run on Microsoft's Windows operating systems and does not run 'natively' on Apple's operating systems
We can offer no official support for the following solutions and strongly suggest you do not buy Apple hardware to use our software.
But if you have an existing machine and some technical knowledge these maybe a way forward
In 2020 Apple launched its own processor (M1). These are quite different from their previous iMacs etc which are built using Intel processor chips. These newest machines are not able to run Windows using Bootcamp nor virtual machines/emulators like Parallels
However until very recently Apple's machines have used the same basic processor family (Intel) as Windows machines and can be setup to run Microsoft's Windows. There are two main techniques.
This effectively allows you to boot in to Windows rather than Apple's OS
Since you are effectively running Windows on a machine that happens to be made by Apple there should be no major issues
Please be aware not all Apple machines running BootCamp can run all versions of Windows (e.g some can only run Windows 7)
Bootcamp does NOT work on Apple machines using their M1 processor as it is a very different design.
This software allows you to run Apple's OS and at the 'same time' a copy of Windows running through a software layer provided by the 'emulator' or virtual machine.
We do not support this solution but it may work. As stated earlier we do not recommend purchasing an Apple based machine with the intention of running SuperView.
Please note that the 'emulator' must support the features as detailed in our System Requirements information (e.g USB ports and graphics)
Parallels claim to be developing a version of their software for the M1 processor but until it is released we cant comment on its suitability for running SuperView and make absolutely no promises that it will support SuperView either when released or in the future.
This is supplied with Apple M1 machines but does not support Windows nor virtual machines/emulators like Parallels. Rosetta 2's purpose is to allow software designed for Apple's older Intel based machines to run on the M1 processor. However there are some limitation especially with virtual machines/emulators like Parallels.
These are in general not considered general business computers and do not support BootCamp or emulators like Parallels.
Technically there are differences and some are important but for this article they are both providing a mechanism to try and allow one sort of software (Windows) to run on hardware (Apple iMacs) that would normally not be able to run that software.
Parallels has a long history of working with Microsoft's Window on Apple hardware. Initially they produced "emulator" software, then software that was more like a "virtual machine" and now for the M1 will have to revert to an emulator.
