Just bought MEW to get the Alibre Atom only to find it doesn't run on a mac. Bummer, any chance of a refund.

Whip it back to the Apple Store and see what they say.

You can always run it in a virtual machine on your Mac

I run a Windows 10 virtual machine under VirtualBox for apps that have no alternative on a Mac - Visio (no Mac version or real equivilent) and Golden Records (Archery records system - Windows only) being 2 of them.

VirtualBox is free from Oracle, and the Windows 10 license I bought second hand on Ebay for about £2.00 from a decomissioned machine.

You have your licence, and as Zebethyal says there are legitimate routes to running W10 on a Mac.
