Don't waste your money unless you already own Windows 11 and an android computer.
My system is iOs. Spent 2 hrs. reading the book. Another 10 hrs. buying Parallel for $130.00 and Windows 11 for $130.00 and trying to install which was unsuccessful. Vectric VCarve which the author recommends cost $550.00. A bit much for a 77 yr. old retired hobbyist.
