Web browsers, Microsoft Office, CourseSite, Lehigh Gmail and Google Suite are the primary software applications used at Lehigh by students, faculty and staff on personally-owned computers, and these work similarly on Windows and Mac.

There are also a few ways to add Windows capabilities to a Mac, such as Parallels Desktop, but these are non-trivial to set up and maintain, and performance may be limited (Note that free solutions such as Boot Camp or VirtualBox may not be compatible with certain Apple Silicon Macs).
