Hi Severin, If you are not using Parallels and never intend to use it again, I would suggest you uninstall Parallels and also delete the Windows10.pvm (or Windows7.pvm). I deleted mine years ago when I decided I didn't need to run anything in Windows. It slows your Mac down and takes up valuable space on your HD. My Windows7.pvm was over 20GB file size I forget how much I space I freed up by uninstalling Parallels correctly from my 17-inch MacBook Pro
It's 38°C in Shelley, where my kids live but they are flying out @ 5:30PM for a 10 day Skiing 🎿 Holiday in Japan ;-) While Perez and I are sitting at home making a decision to miss our afternoon walk today :( as where we live it's a bit cooler than Perth it's 35° with a slight sea breeze (not our normal stronger SW sea breeze). It's summer! Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 3 Jan 2017, at 1:45 pm, Severin Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Ronni.
