Can Siri be downloaded to PC? How to do it? Is there an alternative to apple app for users Windows? You will find the answer to these questions in the article.
On macOS Sierra and later versions of the desktop and laptop OS Apple, it is very easy to talk to Siri online through your computer. In addition, some models have the application installed by default. Siri, like other popular programs, is interesting not only for apple owners, but also for users Linux, Windows. Correct loading of the voice assistant on nix OS depends on the type of operating system and may differ significantly. The work is carried out through the terminal. As for Windows, everything is much easier and more fun.
Can I set Siri to Windows
Let's immediately determine: there is no official version for Windows. But there is still an option to install Siri on a computer under a different operating system. Some developers try to use scripts to create a prototype, but the simplest and most effective way available to an advanced user is to use a virtual machine.
Why do we need a VM
Using a virtual machine, try installing MacOS on a PC and use it as a full-fledged working environment for any manipulations on a computer or laptop. Better to use a proven version of VM VirtualBox. It has automatic configuration, in addition, on the Internet you will find many guides for starting, installing and creating a backup OS.
Things to remember before creating MasOS on your machine:
- the MacOS interface is more user-friendly than, for example, Linux, but it differs from Windows and may not be comfortable at first;
- for the system not to freeze, but to work stably, the computer hardware must meet a number of parameters: at least 8 GB of RAM, 32 or 64-bit OS and .Net Framework 3.5.
