EricHarvey UTM is an open-source virtualization application for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS that allows users to run virtual machines on their devices. It uses the QEMU emulator and Apple's Hypervisor framework to emulate a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.

After installing UTM app on your Mac, you can set up a new Windows 10 virtual machine by selecting the Windows 10 ISO file, configuring the necessary resources such as CPU, memory, and storage, and completing the setup.
