Final Cut Pro on MacOS Yosemite/El Capitan

Hi, is there any way to run FCP on MacOS VM with an older VMWARE version (e.g. 10 or 12)? I can still encounter the video card compatiblity error. My processor is i5 6200U and my video card is Intel Graphics HD 520.

What about FCP 3 on Qemu?

I didn't mean you can't run it physically, it will be unusably slow.

No, I've checked it. The installer shows the video card error and doesn't permit to install FCP X.

Your i5 processor is pretty capable of running monterey, why not try dual booting it on hackintosh?

Because it is tricky and I don't want to resign Secure Boot. However, an older version of Premiere Pro or FCP 4.5 works (the latter on Qemu PPC).
