Emulation (computing)

Emulation is a way of using your computer's software to help you use software and hardware that was built for a different computer. For example, if you have a computer that runs Windows 10, but you have some old software that only works on a Mac, you can use emulation to make your Windows 10 computer act like a Mac computer so the software will work!
