Unfortunately, no you cannot get a Windows version of Garageband. Whether you are running Windows 10, or Windows 7, or another version of Windows, Apple does not make a version of Garageband for Windows computers. Running Garageband on Windows using a ‘Virtual Machine’ It only makes Garageband available through their app stores for use on Apple devices. Though Garageband is not availble for Windows, there is a way to get Garageband to work on a Windows PC.

It is not simple, and takes a lot of computer skill, and possibly even some money, but it is possible. GarageBand has become one of the most important assets for professionals just because of its biggest selection of session instruments. What is a Virtual Machine?Ī virtual machine is like setting up a seperate computer, inside your existing computer. GarageBand for Windows is a Digital Audio Workstation with a fully functional and proper sound library, which includes presets, voice, and instruments.

It is a strange concept to get your head around, but virtual machines make it possible to use Mac programs on Windows computers, or use Windows programs on a Mac computer.įor example, i use Mac computers, but there is an eLearning program caled Articulate Storyline 3 that I use. However this is not made for use on Mac computers, so I set up a virtual machine on my Mac computer. If i want to access this Windows program, i start up my Mac computer and then select a special program (the Virtual Machine), which then opens up Windows, on my Mac computer. I know it sounds confusing, but essentially a virtual machine allows you to use a Windows on a Mac, and OSx on a Windows computer, and all the programs that come with it.
