This article shows you how to set up Wine (Wine-Crossover) to run Windows programs and games on macOS Monterey 12 on Mac computers with Apple Silicon M1, M2, or Intel processors.
You usually cannot run a Windows program on a Mac computer. Still, you can install an EXE or MSI program using software such as Wine, Wineskin, Winebottler, PlayOnMac, or Crossover.
Crossover is the application where you can use Office or another Windows program most smoothly in your macOS operating system. Still, most users do not prefer this software because it is paid.
You can install software developed using Wine infrastructure and presented on GitHub source on your PC and use any 32 Bit or 64 Bit application you want.
You can follow this video tutorial or the steps below to use Wine on your M1 or M2 Mac computer.
