Did you install VMware Tools already?

Depending on how many VMs you intend to run and the type of workloads you run on the virtual machine. Having as much RAM as possible will never hurt. It's always possible to run VMs on a 4GB machine but swapping may occur when the physical RAM is insufficient. So, do at least consider a minimum of 8GB of RAM if you intend to have the VMs running continuously on top of OSX.

already get parallel when it have discount...
now running window on parallel still ok if not do any heavy job.
need save money to upgrade ram.....

Hello bro,

I'm stuck here:

1. I have all the installation setup for Windows 8.1 Pro in my folder.
2. The problem is it's not in ISO, and my macbook don't have any cd/dvd. It's mbpr late 2013.
3. How i want to do Boot Camp ? I have full setup for windows 8.1 Pro in folder.

Thank you

You need to find a way to make an ISO.

Maybe try AnyToISO or the method below.

1) Go to Finder > Utilities > Disk Utility (or Spotlight > Disk Utility)

2) File > New > Disk Image from Folder

3) Select The Windows 8.1 Pro Folder and click "Image".

4) In Image Format choose "DVD/CD Master" and in Encryption choose "none". Then click "Save". (Save it on desktop).

5) Next go to Terminal, Finder > Utilities > Terminal (Spotlight > Terminal).

6) Use the code below



Change sample.iso and sample.cdr to your target file name. Then enter.

7) Now, try opening Boot Camp Assistant with your USB Flash Drive plugged in and try installing. Hope that works.

Thank you for the explaination bro I'm downloading the ISO at the moment. Wish me luck tonight on installing it T.T

Hello,
If anyone here want to buy Windows OS (7,8 & 8.1) to be used for your Mac just PM me. 100% genuine.
Thanks!

I'm wondering if parallel desktop does worth for its money. I tried the trial version and it's kind of lacking in performance wise compare to bootcamp (Normal usage , no gaming). Even the resolution, 1200x800 is the best scale for 13mbpr and you'll notice the pixels/blurry.

I am running on PD9, what's the limit of OS i can install? Can i install 6 window 7 in one PD? What are the hardware requirement?

using Parallels 8 here (purchased via Mac Update bundle iirc), and using rMBP, honestly it kinda lags my whole system even when running only 1 VM which is Windows 7, and I've got 8GB RAM here with 2.6GHz i5.

since you're running it, you can probably find out. but i doubt there's any limit as to how many VM's you can have. hardware wise i'd say a minimum of 8GB RAM

I try on my MBA 2012 4gb RAM, max VM i can put is 2. 3rd one make my mba slow.

VmWare Pro 7 ftw!!!!

vmware much more ok lah..

Parallel 9 Definitely not working on Yosemite.

Get the latest version 10.1.1

Here's a tip, if you're not running any 64bit apps in Windows, use Windows 7 32bit. It consumes much less memory and space. In my case, 600MB RAM after booting, and 7GB space after all the necessary updates.

Anyone done linkage before on Virtual Windows in Mac to Boot Camp partition? I'm using Parallel Desktop 9 and will be using Windows 7 Ultimate. Need advice and/or experience sharing on stability and unexpected problems.

Thanks in advance to all sifu who will be assisting.

mine fusion running using bootcamp partition,win7 ulti. haven really encountered any major problem,on stability,so far so good after using it for almost a year in4,if u quit the vm without shutting down,the VM will help u to shut it down instead of pausing it

Thank you for your fast revert. The reason i'm running bootcamp is because i have complication on IP when running Win7Ulti via PD9. My workplace need us to plug in LAN, and download some kinda security software that will randomize the IP again upon successful connection to the software.

I'll try to link my PD9 to bootcamp partition this weekend, where i will have plenty of time to recover back shall there's any unwanted event happened I'm more confidence with your successful sharing here. Thanks.
