Logically, it should be free. Similar if you open Photoshop, you will use the resources but if you close it, it should be free.

That depends on what you use it for. Fusion is geared towards Enterprise while Parallels is geared towards Consumer. For example, you can build an ESXi server on another machine and Fusion can connect to it remotely.

That's not how VM's work. As far as OSX is concerned, Parallels will reserve the RAM allocated to it until you shut it down.

Hi guys need some help here
I've successfully installed PD10 on my MBA11
Now my hdd looks like this
Z Drive 111GB mac os
C drive 63GB Win7 installed
Now i want a partition for my C drive to keep my dropbox folder & outlook Emails database which is about 20GB and i dont want them to be in C Drive..

My question is what is the best way to partition my C Drive? Use partition magic?

Thanks

when i use boot camp assistant and start downloading the 2 window and driver file to external USB drive, it stop half way and said got network, i tried many many times and still the same, any idea? my USB drive problem or internet problem? FYI i change to other USB drive also same issue.

Unstable Internet connection maybe?

How's the Startup Manager looks in El Cap? I hated how it looks in Yosemite, so I bought myself Fusion 8. Hahaha.

Hi all..Just wanna ask I want to download Yosemite into my Windows 10..Any suggestions or tutorials I could fine especially VM Workstation software?

Is it recommended to create windows partition first and use parallels desktop to run that partition rather than use parallels solely to run windows?

can i ask how much is parallel and window 10 together?

That's Boot Camp


Parallel will just keep the whole windows file as one big file i.e windows10.pvm

You can transfer or delete this file as you wish just like that. Say my macbook has only 128Gb SSD, so sometimes i need some space when editing video, so i transfer the window file in portable hdd and to save space.

When i want to use windows i put back the file. as easy as that.

nice thread. any one using parallels desktop on macbook 2015/2016?
what's the performance /experience?

Hello all,

So I have my time machine backup my entire mac OS using an actual macbook, which I have now sold...

I would like to restore from the time machine but I don't have a mac now.

Is it possible to install VMware (or parallels) into Windows, then install OSX, then plug in the time machine to restore?

hi, anyone can walk me trough into installing parallels desktop in my mac? I just got this mac less than a month and need to work on few software that running only in Win. if there is any freelance for this? installing software in Mac things like that?
Thanks

Any freelance providing service to set up bootcamp for my Mac?

So many YouTube guide for that no need to waste money

Its very straight forward,u need
1.windows ios
2.internet connection for mac to download the drivers
The rest is on screen instructions.

Can i ask something , I have a macbook pro running bootcamp but i cant retrieve the data from either one of the OS , is it possible or fix ?

Calling out to 21" or 27" iMac '17 owners: have you tried bootcamping with Win 10 for gaming?

What's the performance like? I'm contemplating of getting a either model to do:
- daily computing on OSX
- entertainment needs on OSX
- gaming on bootcamp

Best of both worlds on slim profile desktop that could (or should) work seamless with the rest of my Apple products.

I own a MacBook white many years ago and my experience was pretty good. I'm trying to find out how the imac stacks up.

Hi, I how it's gonna perform on macbook air (256 gb, i5, 8gb)??
I wanna try this but I'm not sure about the performance.

Use boot camp im sure better performance u have.. 😊👍
