No iMessage for Windows 10

I am running BootCamp on my Mac & have got Windows 10. BootCamp came with Apple software update. I opened it & it installed iTunes & iCloud. No iMessage. Now when I want to send messages on my Windows I need to Boot back to Mac OS X. That sometimes take a while. I found unofficial iMessage for Windows but I don’t want to do it in case of viruses. Do Apple do iMessage for Windows 10? If they don’t why do they have iTunes & iCloud?

null-OTHER, Windows 10, No iMessage for Windows 10

The closest you can get is to use Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. Both will allow you to launch your existing Bootcamp partition in a virtual machine, so you can run macOS and Windows in parallel. It will come with a performance penalty for both OSes though, so depending on which applications you're using it may or may not work for you. You can download Parallels or Fusion and test-drive them for free. Personally I've used both and had better luck with Parallels - Fusion had some nasty bugs, although that was a few years back and I haven't tried it again since.

Don't use the unofficial one! Apple does not have imessage software for any operating systems outside of the apple ecosystem. 😟
