What is meant by running Mac OS on windows is that you have a windows machine, and create Mac OS virtual machine using whatever virtualization software.
This has a couple of issues: 1. It is illegal. As the user agreement of Mac OS, you should not run Mac OS on any non Apple machine. I don’t remember the exact text, but it is easily understandable. 2. It is very slow compared to getting a Mac machine and run windows on it using virtualization. HTH, Mohamed E.
