Had you kept reading you would have noted that the OP clearly stated that
Windows emulation software was not an option, they prefer not to use it.
Of course, no self-respecting Mac owner would use Windows emulator software
unless it were absolutely necessary.

Think about that concept: Windows Emulation software on a Mac.

Windows is a direct "emulation" of the Mac Graphical User Interface.
So if you loaded Windows emulation software on a Mac, you'd be emulating
something that emulates the Mac OS. Huh? Why bother?
