How to simulate a PC view from a Mac?

Hi, I'm currently building a website. I have been talking to a tech support person about a display issue I'm having. She too is using a Mac, though I'm not sure which one and her display resolution settings. I will find out later on.


Anyhow, for now, I wonder how my site looks on a PC since I no longer have one. Aside from going ahead and buying a used PC, is there a way to find a website that would allow me to preview it online?


Or, an app that I would install on my MacBook?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.4

You would need to be running Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 on a non-Mac hardware platform with an Edge/Firefox/Chrome/Brave browser to determine how your website would appear to a Windows user.


Or if you know anyone willing to let you access your website from their Windows PC, give that a shot.


Only if you have an Intel MacBook Pro, and have VMware or Parallels installed, Microsoft offers free, timed Windows 11 Development virtual machines. No Windows license is necessary.
