Compiling Livecode

[JJS]

you could use vmware to run other OS's

But you could also do a triple boot.

It's easier to create a multi boot on a Mac(hardware) than creating a 
multiboot with hackintosh on a (win)PC

because Windows and Linux run almost everywhere and apple provides 
drivers via Bootcamp

Running MacOs on pc is more difficult as not all videocards/other 
hardware is supported

for the first check out refind http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/     and 
for hackintosh check out https://tonymacx86.com

If you only want a dualboot Mac and Windows then Bootcamp is sufficient


on my previous job i had a Macbook with Macos and win8.1 and win10

now at home i have a PC with Win10/MacOS Mojave Hackintosh/Ubuntu Mate


It taks patience to get it done

So i would go for the Mac
