Steps to Install macOS Ventura on PC

Every user thinks that installing MacOS Ventura on a PC is simple, the reality is not like that. Installing macOS is another case but configuring the post-installation entirely is another case. Suppose whenever you are installing Windows, a boot loader is by default going to install it on the kernel, so next time when you boot the computer, it will select that.
