Can Only Windows PCs can have viruses?

Nope. Any operating system(mac, Linux, etc.) can get a virus but just like any other program, the virus has to be made to target that operating system. A windows virus won't run on a mac and a mac virus won't run in windows. Since windows is the most popular OS for desktop use, the majority of viruses target it, and thus windows users are at greater risk of getting a virus, but a mac user or a Linux user can get a virus as well if they're not careful.
