You will need to install Microsoft Windows on your Mac.
We will present two options to manage that. Below you will find two video tutorials. These videos are coming from third party YouTube channels, but they may help you to install Microsoft Windows on your Mac.
If you have problem achieving the desired result from the videos below, you can always take advantage of our services by clicking HERE.
The first video is an option using application Parallels Desktop*. It has 15 days free option. During this period you can transfer your floppy disks for free by using Windows OS**. Keep in mind that for older versions of Mac OS like Sierra you will need to download older version of the application to run it, otherwise an error will appear. So if you have a problem running the latest app, simply download the older version from this link below. We have tested the process via Mac OS Sierra (using Parallels version 13) and also Mac OS Big Sur (using Parallels version 16). It works great with both Mac OS versions. This is the link for all the Parallels application versions available:

The second video is an option to use the integrated application in your Mac – Boot Camp Assistant. The process is a little bit more complicated but free of charge**. When you are done you will have two options to boot your Mac – in Mac OS or in Windows OS. I am not sure if this application will be available in the new Mac’s with ARM processor – M1 chip. Parallels Desktop app will support M1 processor for sure. If you’ve found Boot Camp application on your Mac you are good to go. Also M1 processor is introduced in late 2020 – if your Mac is produced before that, there will be no problem to install Windows that way. We have tested the process via Mac OS Sierra and also Mac OS Big Sur. It works great with both Mac OS versions. You will need to download Windows 10 disc Image (ISO File). You can do that from the link below:

After installing Windows on your Mac, please simply use the “Reset the Guide” button on the bottom of this page. When you are prompt to choose “do you have Windows virtual machine or Windows installed on your Mac”, please choose Yes. Then simply follow the guide.
*Parallels Desktop is payed application. You can check the price for activation in the official website presented above. The application has 15 days free option.
**Microsoft Windows may need to be activated after 30 days of free period.
