    • @johnbertram
      @johnbertram 10 місяців тому

      @@reverend_wintondupree Experience has been excellent. No problems with VBA (including forms) and the keyboard works as I expect - certainly not noticed any problems. It is literally like having Windows on my MacBook, especially when full-screen. As far as I can tell, performance hasn't been an issue on default settings. I think you can alter processor parameters if need be.
      I had the VM shut down for a week or so and just booted it back up - I think it took less than 5 seconds to get to Windows desktop. And as said before, i tend to just leave it running and swipe between screens.
      Overall, for very little effort you can have something pretty awesome that just kind of works. Very definitely recommend this setup. As a little experiment I also built a VM Linux instance - not bad, but options for distros are limited and I think better solutions for Linux on Mac exist.
      I keep a Windows PC for 'legacy' work, but now am thinking of getting a Mac Mini and just having a VM Windows for legacy.
      Go for it - the worst that can happen is you don't like it and delete it!

    Also, Parallels didn't download to downloads folder in this new version of Parallels. It was stored in Library/Application Support/Parallells and in some folder for downloads. That install ISO didn't work. The VMware Fusion's download for arm W11 did however work.
