I still have that link you sent for Easy Mike Tools, for when I get all this stuff up and running. Lol, you know I will have more questions for you! Thanks for sharing the pros & cons of these two different setups, it really helps put it all in perspective. A little more complicated in initial setup sometimes.īoth have its merits and I ultimately like VMs when the mac has enough resources to run it.Īs far as software-wise there is a tool called Easy Mike Tools that will install most of the stuff on windows 10. Shares resources with MacOS which can be limited if the Mac doesn't have enough RAM, CPUs etc.ģ. Not free, and annual upgrades start to cost a lotĢ. No need to restart to get into Windows for something.ġ. Space allocated is only like a file, so free space is still utilized by Macģ. Unable to write into MacOS side of things without 3rd party driversĢ.
Requires rebooting if you ever want to go back to Macģ. Requires permanent space allocated to BootCampĢ. All system resources are utilized by Windows only.ġ. Feel free to hound me more if you want to know more.LOLĢ. I'll get back at it this weekend when I have more time
But, I think I'm pretty close to getting it set up. It did become awfully tempting to just buy a cheap Windows laptop and not have to deal with all this other stuff. I spent so many hours just learning about this stuff over the weekend I had to stop after a certain point lmao. I guess all I would really need to do at this point is get Windows 10 and buy an external hard drive. I downloaded the 30 day trial of VMWare Fusion 10 so I could mess around with it while I read up on VMs in general since I was not previously familiar with them. I love my Mac and I would prefer to use it if I could. I guess I'm still on the fence about what the best thing to do is. Thanks for explaining this in more detail. I back up my VM on an external hard drive and I take snap shots of the VM in case upgrades to the software fails and breaks.Ĭool, Derek. ISTA+D (Dealership Diagnostic Software, I did not install ISTA+P due to space concerns) (Thin means it only takes the space it is using but Windows thinks it is 200GB total.)īMW Standard Tools 2.12 (NCSexpert, WinFKP, INPA, etc) Hardware: 2015 Retina Macbook Pro 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD DreamTime, I already mentioned it to you in a text but here are the details of my setup:
