Or you can run Windows applications in what’s called Coherence mode, where the Windows apps are contained within their own window just like a native macOS app. You can choose full desktop mode, where the Windows desktop appears as a window or full screen within macOS. If you find your Windows installation is gobbling too much space, you can “reclaim” it using Parallels’ control panel (provided you’ve got free disk space in the Windows virtual drive, that is). If you need more storage, it can take it. And although you will be asked how much disk space you want to afford the virtual Windows 10 installation, this is – unlike a Boot Camp partition – dynamic. Like Boot Camp, Parallels handles the Windows installation for you – you don’t even have to have the image downloaded in advance. If you still want access to these and other Windows tools, without having to dive out of macOS and reboot into Windows every time you want to, say, record a Skype call, installing Windows 10 in Parallels Desktop is the way forward. ![]() There are many little Windows apps that don’t have direct macOS versions or equivalents. Running Windows as a virtual machine in Parallels You can store files on external storage or use a cloud service such as Dropbox or OneDrive to keep files synced between the two, but it’s awkward in a way that installing via Parallels is not. It’s not a complete deal breaker if you need to access files from either OS. In Windows, you can’t even see the macOS partition without workarounds. You can see the Boot Camp partition from within macOS and see its files listed, but you can’t open them. The biggest is that the two OSes don’t play nicely. Fix is type redraw command, but it is not very comfort.īetter experience I have with BetterTouchTool, which have problem with "hanged" emulated "MMB" after click, but they release 0.926 alpha which this fix it Parallels 8.Apple MacBook Pro 16in review: A little bigger, a lot better Google and Parallels bring native Windows apps to Chromebooks Apple's ARM-based Macs won't support Windows virtualisationīoot Camp does have drawbacks, though. I think this will be my last attempt to use over Paralles and OS X, then is final destination Bootcamp.Ĥ/ Fn keys - this I solved with Palua app from AppStoreĥ/ I tried MagicPrefs to emulate middle mouse button - MMB and tweak MagicMouse, but IMHO on Parallels not work quite good and have experience that, after using emulated "MMB", zoom and again pan over emulated "MMB", rtpan not work or better it work, but I not see drawing move, just new view after pan. ![]() I quite believe that, because I try work on MacBook Trackpad and it not work bad - ofcourse not for desktop work, but this "big" TrackPad maybe good. Today I hear that this work well with MagicTrackpad. I use before microsoft keyboards or mouses, i thinked that problem is microsoft, I bought MagicMouse, but it's same, if not worse. For is this the biggest problem of virtualization. If I do with mouse "office" work, it not make problem, but in CAD, if I want make small and precise move/click/selection, cursor not move/move very small/move quite to another place where I want have it. If I leave Cohrence mode and back to "desktop" mode, all works fine.ģ/ third and absolute biggest problem is mouse move. In Autocad for Windows, I not have this problem, but with Bricscad yes, but also I agree, it's virtualization, and problem is there, and this problem is with Coherence mode. is cursor over toolbar, or menu, or windows window, is cursor "hidden", is there, work where is, but is invisible. problems are:ġ/ crossfading the systems, over parallels you work with two philosophies of "user experience", in W7 is possible install MacLook over parallels and it feel like Mac app, and it's good, but for W8 it is impossible.Ģ/ sometimes it's 50:50, is problem with mouse cursor, I see it in drawing area, but when leave this area, ie. BricsCad run well, speed is fine, compare to Autocad for Mac is BricsCad over Parallels faster. I had idea, to run BricsCad over Parallels 8 + Windows 8. ![]() It's over three weeks, what I bought MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2012).
