Description
UVM matches Windows 11 to your Mac, downloads official media from Microsoft, prepares the virtual machine, and guides routine setup through to the desktop. Built for people who need Windows—not another virtualization toolbox to learn.

Could you build this?
No Creating a reliable macOS virtualization wrapper that handles native hypervisor APIs (Hypervisor.framework / Virtualization.framework), automated Windows bootstrapper/unattended installation, and driver injection requires deep systems-level macOS and virtualization expertise.
What it would actually take: A native Swift/Objective-C app integrating Apple's Virtualization.framework or QEMU/UTM internals under the hood. The hardest parts involve programmatically automating Windows unattended installation (`autounattend.xml`), handling dynamic disk mounting/partitioning, and ensuring guest tools/VirtIO network drivers inject seamlessly across different Apple Silicon hardware configurations. It requires specialized knowledge of macOS low-level systems programming and Windows setup internals.
