I could’t do it on Windows 10, I needed to install some program. Everybody knows that Apple laptops have a nice trackpads where you can swipe between pages, swipe between full-screen apps, with one touch zoom in or out, tap to click etc. Well everything worked ? but I was not happy. So I was stubborn and installed on my Mac Windows 10 alongside Mac OS. In the beginning I was sceptical about virtualization since “I could not touch it”. Oracle VM VirtualBox is free and open-source hypervisor for x86 computers from Oracle Corporation. If you think little bit deeper, then VirtualBox is just a program, where you install a program in it and run it. So your second operating system will run virtually.
