So, I'm going to try installing an Android emulator. I already have Parallels app which lets me run the latest version of Android Jelly Bean. How do I get to the window that asks me to enter the verification code?
Just install Bluestacks , search for "WhatsApp" then download from the playstore (or any other such store, would give you options).
After installing, open it, and it would ask you to enter your phone number for verification, when you enter, it would try to act as a phone, and tell you to wait around 5 minutes so that it can verify itself, by sending an sms, ultimately it would not succeed, and ask you, how you would like to confirm your number.
Choose, sms verification, immediately you'll receive a code, which you can then put up, and it would work.
You have to later sync all your contacts list once in the emulator, so as to recognize the conversations.

Just forgot to mention one thing, please remember that if you install WhatsApp on your emulator, you'll not able to use it in your phone.
This is because, you can run only one copy of WhatsApp per number, as soon as you installed it on your desktop, the WhatsApp version on your mobile will show an error saying "Authorisation failed" and something like that, and ask you to verify your number again in order to use WhatsApp.
