You may install Microsoft Windows via Boot Camp, Parallels, or another virtualization software in order to run these applications, but these options may incur additional licensing costs. Virtual Desktop Interface software can be used to access the medical record system, however this option is only available to Apple computers capable of running newer versions of the Apple’s operating system (MacOS Sierra 10.12 or newer). The Veterinary Diagnostic Lab accessioning software can only be accessed from a device running the current, supported version of Microsoft Windows. - MOSTLY COMPATIBLE: Tablets (Apple and Android)
