Oschły Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hi! My main OS is macOS, but I have things, which I can do only on Windows (Some lite weight projects and games like Battlefield 4, Heroes 3 or Gothic 3). Is it worth to having dual boot Windows and get smaller disk for macOS (I have small ssd for 2 OSes) or I should try Parallels Desktop? How worse is performance than normal booted OS? My specs: CPU: i5-4670 (will change to 4790) GPU: GTX 750 Ti (will change for new Vega) RAM: 8 GB DDR3 (will add 32GB) Disk: Goodram Iridium Pro 240GB.

Allan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 IMHO it's better with SOs in its own separate SSDs. I didn't never played games in VMs, so I can't give you a proper answer about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanthraX Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Unfortunately, Parallels does not boot Windows installed on a separate drive, from the version 11. But VMWare Fusion can. It will recognize the windows installation as BootCamp and will boot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macinsane Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Mine does. Running BootCamp as usual. @Oschły BTW: Some games are so badly ported that they in fact run at similar speeds in Parallels, e.g. Metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
