Hi all: I'm planning to build a machine that will be running 10.13 High Sierra. I do use a couple WinDOS programs, but not very often. So I ask: should I make my machine a dual-boot with two drives (one macOS and one WinDOS 7), or just one drive with macOS and use Parallels to run the stuff...

So it's been a while since I bothered with a Hackintosh as I eventually acquired a Mid 2012 MBP since I last built one. The two devices have basically similar core specs except for the better GPU and 32Gb of RAM in the PC. The latter is the real reason for the pondering as system memory has been...

Hi there, first of all thank you for this excellent resource! And second - sorry for my English. While I'm waiting for my hardware to arrive, I would like to clarify some moments. The hardware is: Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 CPU: i7-8700k Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC Other...

Hi all. Simple question to which I've found either outdated or contradictory answers: if I dual boot Win10 with 10.12.6 on separate SSD (UEFI) then what do I need to do to have Parallels see the Windows installation - except install Boot camp drivers? I don't use Windows for much aside form...

Hi everyone. I am trying to install Windows in Parallels, but I am getting an error all the time saying: "The virtual machine processor was reset by the operating system". This keeps on popping up and does not install Windows. Am I missing something? Are there any mods that I need to do to...

Hey guys, I hope someone can help. While having 10.12.4 and Windows 10 on the same SSD, I was able to run Windows using Parallels. After 10.12.5 came out, I installed Windows 10 on another drive, but now Parallels wont see the installation. Back in 10.12.4, Parallels would use Clover to boot...

I recently upgraded to Sierra (to take advantage of the new drivers for Pascal video cards only available on Sierra) and my two virtual machines (Linux and Windows 10) running under Parallels 11 (which does support Sierra) do not work any longer. I get warnings about Virtualization being turned...

My Build i5 4690k (Upgrade inbound) Gigabyte GA Z97-D3H 16gb Ram RX 480 I know all but my gpu are supported right now and hopefully it will be with osx sierra I have a working wifi adapter aswell just cant think of the model right now I use a macbook pro retina as my daily driver and only use...

So I've recently transferred my hard drive from my laptop to my desktop rig, the Hackintiosh (Yosemite) seems to be working fine but of course all my main files are on the windows side. Is there a way of having the windows 7 partition running in something like Parallels on the mac desktop so I...

I thought that I'd just post this since I haven't seen any recent threads on it. I'm using windows 10 and parallels 10. I didn't want to create just a virtual machine copy, but a hard drive copy of windows that I could directly boot into and also run a virtual machine of while running mac. After...

[THIS IS NOT A GUIDE] It's a detailed account of my successful installation process and related troubleshooting I encountered. I don’t consider it a guide because it’s specific to my hardware and I don’t include alternative options. However, I hope this detailed account proves valuable to the...

So I did something(s) stupid: I had VT-d enabled, Parallels was working fine in 64 bit mode all under Mountain Lion. That was not this stupid part, the stupid part comes in 2 stages. First I got it working and did not document how I got it working (Stupid 1) then I upgraded to Mavericks and now...

Hello, when I first made my build, I got a 120GB SanDisk Extreme. Now I my dad has picked me up a 240 GB SSD for my birthday. I planned to run Windows on an SSD so I could run Parallels once I get my system stable (which it hasn't been for a long time but seems to be getting better.) I want to...

Hello, I'm running 10.9.1 on a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 v1.0 with F12 BIOS and DSDT using a i7 2600K CPU and 16GB of RAM. I added FileNVRAM to get iMessage working and set up a recovery partition just because. Things have been working well. My problem comes in with my Virtual Machines. I've been...

Does anyone here do their gaming in parallels with any reasonable success? I've done it previously with less than stellar results on my mbp but I was thinking about getting a new card (current 7850 too many quirks with hacks) and I'm wondering if it's going to be worth the investment. Now I...

I am trying to have Windows 7 working virtually on my hackintosh. But when I press bootcamp in the application it say upgrading and then it shows me this screen I have searched for hours and I cannot seem to find any fix please help!! If anymore information is required please do ask. Thanks in...

Hi Guys, I just got OSX fully working. I love it! (Thanks for the great guides here at the forum!!!) ;) But now there is a thing I can't solve with existing threads: In Parallels 7 the graphical haptic is very bad. It's not possible to change the screen resolution satisfactorily. Additionally...

So after much trial and error I've finally managed to boot my Windows 7 installation from a separate drive as a bootcamp in OS X using Parallels. The main reason for doing so is that you can't install graphics drivers on a Parallels virtual installation of Windows, which is a nightmare when...

Hi Gang, This is my first post so forgive me if I am naive to this forum and its proper usage. I am excited to build a medium to high end mac. I would like to use photshop and Lightroom if these aps will work well with a certain build (decent video card, cpu, HD,SSD, and plenty of RAM). Any...

[FIX] Chimera 1.11 + Parallels Desktop for Mac I am having some problems with Parallels under Mountain Lion refusing to startup all my virtual machines. At first, I thought it was the latest Build of Parallels that had the problem (15104). A Win2000 VM will only start in safe mode, and a...
