Computer Spec - Mac vs PC w/ Mac OS

Hi, Kids! To get to the point:Any experiences running Adobe CC on a PC with a Mac OS?I need to run After Effects & Premiere simultaneously at a minimum.  - It would be nice to add an open browser and Illustrator or Media Encoder in there, to. 64 MB RAM is my target. Might even go to 96 if it keeps my blood pressure lower 😉  The back story: I got sucked into switching to Mac products because my support team on a feature documentary uses Mac. I made a terrible choice. The Apple "experience" is all marketing B.S. IMO - especially since I was lied to at the time of purchase that I could upgrade my RAM. This is where I am stuck: 16 MB RAM and no way to go up. 2 CC Applications crashes me mutliple time daily. PCs are sooooo much more affordable, like 1/2 as expensive with similar configurations. I'm looking at requiring a new laptop no matter what, simply to get more RAM. Anyone? Beuller?

There have been some threads about using Hackintosh on this forum, but I think it violates the EULA of the macOS.

I was unaware of that. The best thing about Apple is Apple Care, so I don't want to blow that. Thanks for pointing that out! As usual, the solution must be more money 😞

Soon, that will be the only way to even use macOS at all. With the pending depreciation of support for Intel-powered Macs, an upcoming major-version release of macOS will be Apple Silicon-exclusive, which means no more Hackintoshes since they all rely on a modified version of the Intel version of macOS.
