HI. I am running a vm quite successfully on a mac mini. Granted I have 8 gigs of ram but as far as I know, if you’re not using the vm then your memory stays with the mac os. I have a usb cd rom drive so I used that to install windows from a cd. I think sighted assistance is needed to install bootcamp but vmware is accessible without sighted assistance. I like vmware personally because it means I don’t have to reboot the mac to go in to windows. some people have said that windows runs better under bootcamp however personally I’m not experiencing any problems. I used narrator to find my nvda installation and pressed enter once windows was up and running.
I hope this helps Maria and Joe Chapman bubbygirl1...@gmail.com On 30 Nov 2013, at 11:01 pm, Lee Jones <leejones...@sky.com> wrote: > Dear List,I am new to the macworld. > How easy is it to set up a windows virtual machine using fusion.
