Hi Everyone,

my graphic designer has always used Imac but for business organization we have to use PC windows.

 

To help her I would like to use an apple keyboard on a windows pc and configure it so that the commands are the same as on the mac.

 

Can you tell me if it is possible and how can I do it? (She uses Illustrator and sometimes Photoshop)

 

Thanks

I only know it the other way round. I used Windows keyboards on Mac OS and then had to adapt to the different keys.

 

Maybe you'll find some guidance in this article: https://www.macworld.com/article/673539/how-to-use-a-mac-keyboard-with-a-windows-pc.html

 

The critical thing will be the modifier keys as they cannot be configured in the apps. So if the system can remap them, then good. But that's all you can do.
