Re: Trying this again. Wanting to install windows in a boot camp partition from a vm. Can this be done without sited help.

When I first started using a Mac in 2013, I used bootcamp and created a VM from it. Shortly afterward, I moved away from this configuration due to a space consideration-I have a 256 GB SSD. However, if I had it to do over again, I would have stayed with both as it allows more flexibility. I did

Jonathan, So I can not reverse in other words, I can not create a bootcamp partition and tell the assistant to install windows from that, but If I were using windows in a bootcamp partion and desided at some point that I wanted to use a vm I could do this. What I want is to run windows
