I managed to get out and get a new Macbook a few weeks ago after my other one finally had enough. There is not many Apple stores in this country and the online store has been out of stock from the virus lockdown. I finally settled on the only one in the store that had enough ass to do what i want. 32 gig ram, 3.8 processor, pretty much all the upgrades,,,,except some genius ordered it with only 512gb hard drive.
I think about it for a few minutes and just decided since its here I better get it and just swap the HD out when its available. Yeah, great move on my part, the new generation has all the components integrated to the system board! Swapping the drive is not an option. I now find myself with a $3k computer that by the time I install Parallels, Windows 10, NX, Featurecam, Solidworks, Delcam, and a few other of my media softwares the things gonna be full.
So it seems my only option is to connect my 2TB external SSD and use parallels to create a VM and run directly from the external. This definitely is not my ideal solution but for the time being it may have to do. My question is has anyone ran CAD/CAM from a virtual machine? This will take days to reinstall the software, reload templates, tool libraries, reconfig setting,,,,,, I don't want to risk wasting all that time if what I am attempting to do will not work.
