E, when I first bought a Mac I used BootCamp and found that I didn’t like booting to either Windows or Mac but wanted access to both platforms all the time. Plus I had to decide how much memory each operating system was going to use so if I put too much information on one side or the other I would run out of space. Making Windows a virtual operating system by using Paralells on the Mac is easier to use in the long run but takes a little getting used to in the beginning. There are videos on YouTube that can help but what it will allow you to do is run every thing in one place rather than shutting down one side to run something on the other. I’d look into getting Paralells.
