Help with Virtual Machine - to run MAC OS 10.5

[Amnamn180]

Hi All,

I have a 2023 MBP, which I would like to use to get an old USB microscope working.

The microscope needs to run on:
Windows 2000, XP, Vista 32bit/64bit, Windows 7 32bit/64bit, Mac OS X 10.5

I have tried running Parallel as a virtual machine, but it only runs Windows 11. Can anyone suggest another way?

There currently is no way to run x86 Virtual Machines on Apple Silicon Macs unless you use emulation, which will be so incredibly slow to emulate an x86 hardware (even if it works) as to be practically unusable.

UTM is a cross-platform emulator that allows you to run macOS, Windows, or Linux. Here's how to use it to run very old versions of Apple's Mac operating system.
