If your macOS version is older than 10.5 Catalina, install an older VMware Fusion version supported by your macOS. In this section, I list the requirements for VMware Fusion 12, the latest version at the time of writing this blog post. Requirementsīefore proceeding with installing VMware Fusion, check system requirements. This blog post explains how to install Windows 10 as a guest OS on a macOS virtual machine using VMware Fusion and combine the advantages of both Windows and macOS operating systems. There are three common methods to run Windows on a Mac computer: use Parallels Desktop, install Windows on the Boot Camp partition, or install Windows on a VirtualBox VM or VMware Fusion VM. However, it is possible to do so if Windows is installed on the Mac computer. Personally, when I am on the road, I am much happier carrying only a single laptop.Mac owners often need to run their favorite Windows applications that are not supported on macOS. Now, if your workflow is such that some says you are at your desk working in Windows, and some days you are at your desk working in Mac, then two separate machines may be the best solution. VM software makes it easy to switch back and forth between the two platforms for workflows that involve both Windows and Mac applications.VM software may cost less than a separate second machine.A single Mac based backup strategy can backup both platforms.If you are on the road, A single laptop weighs less than two laptops.It's trivial to share files between the two platforms when they are hosted on the same platform.There are conveniences to having them all on one machine, rather than split across two machines.
It's a reasonable question to ask, and there are reasonable answers.Ĭonsider someone who needs to run a mix of Mac and Windows applications. With Windows PCs available for next to nothing, both new and refurb, with Windows pre-installed (you know Windows is not included with either emulator, right?), please, someone provide me with justification for not just buying a cheap PC to run your QuickBooks Pro, or some other application not available on MacOS? Sure you can do it, but in the words of my late mother, "JP, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD." Mom was wise. It mystifies me as to why anyone would want to run Windows on a Mac, silicon or otherwise.
