    If you can't find the iso file in your downloads folder then follow these steps:
    1. Click on apple logo (Top right corner)
    2. Click on About this Mac
    3. Click More Info
    4. Go to bottom of this About section and click Storage Settings
    5. Click on i button of Documents Folder
    6. Go to File Browser
    7. Click Command+Shift+. at the same time. (This will open up hidden folders)
    8 Now select Library>Parallels>Downloads.
    9. Here you go, this folder contains the iso file of windows11.
    If this helps, give this comment a like, if not then reply to this comment I'll help you.

    • @johnbertram
      @johnbertram ปีที่แล้ว

      @@reverend_wintondupree Experience has been excellent. No problems with VBA (including forms) and the keyboard works as I expect - certainly not noticed any problems. It is literally like having Windows on my MacBook, especially when full-screen. As far as I can tell, performance hasn't been an issue on default settings. I think you can alter processor parameters if need be.
      I had the VM shut down for a week or so and just booted it back up - I think it took less than 5 seconds to get to Windows desktop. And as said before, i tend to just leave it running and swipe between screens.
      Overall, for very little effort you can have something pretty awesome that just kind of works. Very definitely recommend this setup. As a little experiment I also built a VM Linux instance - not bad, but options for distros are limited and I think better solutions for Linux on Mac exist.
      I keep a Windows PC for 'legacy' work, but now am thinking of getting a Mac Mini and just having a VM Windows for legacy.
      Go for it - the worst that can happen is you don't like it and delete it!

    At 4:52 it says to click the Play button. When I did that step, I got this error: "The guest attempted to read beyond the end of a disc image..." Then in the Windows black screen area it says: "Start PXE over IPv4." and "PXE-E16: No valid offer received." I repeats that again, and then below that it says: "Start PXE over IP6." It then freezes, and clicking does nothing. After pressing return and clicking more though, it then presented me with a yellow Shell> prompt. If I type "reset" and press Return, it simply gets me back to the same text I just told you about. It won't boot from the image, probably because I don't know what commands to type.
    After that, I deleted the virtual machine, created a new one to start over, and then it worked. Hopefully, this info will help others who experience the same.
    There is one huge downside to Fusion versus Parallels. I have a UTi260B Thermal Camera that connects to my MBP via USB-C cable. Only Parallels can detect it. Fusion cannot. Sadly, even MacOS cannot, which is perhaps why feature-limited Fusion cannot. But clearly, Parallels is much smarter software because when I connect my thermal imager, I get a popup dialog that asks if I want to allow Parallels to use it. It appears as a "UVC camera." OBS and the UTI app for the imager can see it within Parallels. I can then use Quicktime to record my screen in order to save video taken by it. If Fusion could do that, it would be great because that would mean I wouldn't have to use Parallels. Honestly, I only need Windows for that one app alone. Makes no sense to pay the big bucks for a one trick pony.

    Finally I got windows from keyr (Make sure to include the dot (.) between "keyr" and "org")
    I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
    For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho

    This is a great explanation, Jeff! Very clear! Could you or someone on this thread tell me if the "Print to PDF" feature in Windows 11 will work via VM Fusion Player? Parallels 18 broke it, and claimed to have fixed it in Parallels 19, but it's now missing altogether in v19 - and there is no actual support from Parallels (I've tried). Thank you!
