3.0/5

There are many useful applications that are, sadly, only available for the Windows operating system, but running them on your Mac is certainly possible, and there are a number of tools that can help you out.

Of course, you have the option of using Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac or setting up a virtual machine with an emulator, but these solutions are somewhat inconvenient and can put a strain on your resources.

WinOnX 2 Pro offers an alternative, as it takes advantage of Wine to redirect data from Windows applications and integrate them into macOS seamlessly, enabling you to use them like native Mac apps.

However, not all applications are fully compatible, and there is no guarantee that even compatible ones will not run slowly or simply crash.

The initial setup is very straightforward, as you simply have to wait for the default virtual machine to be prepared. Once that is done, you can map as many drives as you like and assign them custom letters.

Of course, you are not limited to the default virtual machine, as you can create any number of additional ones and switch between them instantly.

In order to run an EXE or MSI file, you need to place it in a folder assigned to one of your mapped drives, and then simply double-click it as you would any other Mac app.

Some instability is to be expected when running certain applications, but WinOnX 2 Pro can kill all active processes at any time, without locking up your virtual machine altogether.

You can also rebuild all applications or even erase and rebuild the entire C: drive if you run into too many issues.

To conclude, if you wish to run certain Windows applications on your Mac but want to avoid buying an additional OS license or using a resource-heavy emulator, WinOnX 2 Pro provides a simple alternative that may just be what you need.

However, bear in mind that not all applications are supported, while others may run very slowly or cause crashes.
