Can I use AE on desktop?

[#1]

Everyone I see uses a mac but I'm too broke to afford one and my parents won't let me use theirs...so can I use my desktop? I feel stupid for asking that but my whole thinking process is messed up rn.

Thank you!

There is no way for anyone to answer with zero information about your "desktop"

When you ask a question you need to provide some basic information

Maybe your question is: if you can use AE on windows desktop so the answer is YES you can run AE on both Mac OS X and windows, any way you can download the trial version and check if it's compatible with your OS version and PC specs
