I'm an undergraduate trying to help with a research project that uses LabVIEW and a set of LabVIEW extensions to read and write RS232 data, provide a user interface, and a few other things. I currently have a Mac that has all the compatibility requirements of LabVIEW 2023 Q3 except the macOS version. I currently have 14 when the requirements are at most 13. I can try and learn off a friend's computer, though it would be a major inconvenience, and also have VirtualBox installed which could help.
Is there another option you guys would recommend that I haven't thought of, should I just suck up the inconvenience, or try the VirtualBox?
