Member-only story
You know me… ahh, actually you don’t know me. Let me introduce myself, I’m an Apple user, not a fanboy, but an user, who learn, teach and worked on windows couple of years (more than 10 actually). Of course today I have a MacBookPro and a Lenovo ThinkPad X1, doing/running business on both operating systems.
Of course I’m using more for company business the Windows 10 and for personal business Mac OSX. All of my work/data/content resides on both operating system, counting “some” amount of money and couple of months finding related apps for both operating systems.
Once, during this pandemic, staying and working from home, I was annoyed to use/switch between these two machines, so I decide to take a look at some alternatives to use only one machine, and I choose as a main one Macbook Pro. In this perspective I decide to install Windows 10 on MacBook Pro, but dual boot is not for me, taking into consideration that I need the apps on Mac OSX.
Couple of months ago I also had an alternative to use VMware fusion for mac in order to run Windows 10, but, running VMware virtualisation at work and being not so happy with accessing virtual machine on MacBook Pro, I search for another virtualisation software for Mac OSX. And I found Parallels Desktop for Mac.
It is not the first time, also when I tried/purchased Parallels, so this is the time for an upgrade. Good that I still have the old licenses, so I made an upgrade, and Install the software. Couple of hours after the Windows 10 machine is ready to run my business.
It is very well done, the software is optimised for running on Mac OSX Catalina, and working very well managing MacBook Pro resources. I can now working on both operating systems and both are running amazingly well.
Still have to learn a little bit about the network sharing options when in offcie, but overall the grade is ten (ten) or 5 stars rating. I will write down some features that I consider most for me, and maybe also for you:
-easy to use and powerful (easy to star the machine and Windows 10 working perfect);
