How to Download & Install Mac OS Cursor in Windows 11 & 10

Want to install Mac style cursors in Windows? Here’s how to do it simple steps.

The default cursor style in Windows 10 and 11 is pretty good. You can even change the default cursor’s size via the accessibility settings. However, if you don’t like the default cursor style, you can change it to whatever you want using CUR files.

For instance, compared to the regular pointer cursor, I really like the gloved pointer in macOS. Like me, if you too like the Mac cursor styles, you can install them in Windows and make the Windows cursor look like the macOS cursor. All you have to do is download macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra cursor and add them to the Windows pointer styles. It is a pretty simple process.

In this quick and simple tutorial, let me show you how to install macOS cursors in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Let’s get started.
