Hello all,
I moved away from the late 2014 Mac Mini that I currently have back to my Windows PC when I realized I couldn't upgrade that machine past Mac OS Monterey. Now that I've got the iPhone 16 Pro and with all its new capabilities plus how well the new Mini sounds like it would nicely integrate with this new phone, I'm seriously thinking about retiring the old Mac Mini in favor of the 2024 model. Besides that, My sighted wife has a 2024 iMac, and I'm really thinking it would be good for me to upgrade mine so I can follow along with the new OS's and be more of a help if/when she might need it. I do have one big concern, which I know has been discussed previously here, and apologize for the repeat. But here goes: I have two digital police scanners which have visual menus, but they come with a cable that lets you connect it to a computer to program them. Problem is that the app only runs on Windows, no Mac support. I did, in fact, run Windows 10 on the old Mac Mini with VMWare fusion a while back, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has been able to get Windows going on the newer Mac Mini. If people have had good luck doing this, I might be able to retire a five plus year old desktop PC in addition to the older Mac Mini. I'm also getting into doing some podcasting for the first time, and the folks I'm working with seem to really be more in favor of using Apple systems, so that's another reason I'm thinking to make the move. I'd really appreciate any tips or guidance anyone can give me, and once again I do apologize for repeating this question.
