So, no need for duplicate Windows apps, no need to transfer files of the network. And the great thing is, I only need to use Windows for that specific GIS software and can do everything else in MacOS. Really wasn't sure it would work, but it has just blown me away. I took a gamble when I got the Mini in 2020 that it could also replace my old Windows 7 HP desktop machine. ![]() I suppose might be a little faster in Bootcamp, but being able to seamlessly switch between Windows and MacOS is worth any performance penalty. I am using a 32gb/6-core VM in Parallels and it works quite well, I continue to use Mac apps while the Windows software exports files - often running 24/7. I have processed over 8tb of geodata over the summer, the end result of which was creating about 40 million map tiles for my web app (map tiles are 256x256-pixel. Just about all I do in Windows is run GlobalMapper, a professional GIS application for making maps. Really impressed with how well this works. ![]() I don't have an M1 Mac but I use Windows 10 heavily on a 2018 i7 Mini with 64gb RAM.
