As far as I am concerned this is not off topic. Mac users discussing how they have their machines set up so that they can use Legacy is fair game.

I didn't realize this was "off topic" because Legacy support is the one that referred me here when they couldn't help. As I said before, I think my Mac is too old to run Windows 10, so now I must go to "Plan B". :/ I'm ready to get back into this and have been putting it off a long time, since I bought the Mac in 2010. It doesn't look like there are any easy solutions for me at this point in time and I am not ready to purchase a new computer. ~Sandra _____ From: LegacyUserGroup <legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com <mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com> > on behalf of Douglas Tighe <littlehand...@gmail.com <mailto:littlehand...@gmail.com> > Sent: Friday, October 14, 2016 8:39 PM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] New to Group Hi Sandra, Will try to keep simple and hope we don't annoy others that believe this is off topic from Legacy. My Apple Pro is standard then I installed Parallels which allows you to install up to Eight (8) separate operating systems which all run at once. You simply swipe sideways and go to the other system in my case W10. Where I have Legacy installed. So this allows selection of which ever program you prefer under its native operating system. Finally these two OP systems run seamlessly it's an instant change from one to the other I have say iPhotos running on Apple and Legacy8 Deluxe on Windows, and it's easy to view both on split screen moving the mouse one to the other also copying the same way. Hope this helps and should be interesting for all Computer users.

I didn't know you could run W10 on an external drive, so that is good to know and sounds like something I would rather do! So are you saying it is a big learning curve to use both systems at once? Is that what you meant? I'm up for the challenge, but unfortunately, I just discovered that I don't think my old MacBook Pro will run Win 10. :/ _____ From: LegacyUserGroup <legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com <mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com> > on behalf of Douglas Tighe <littlehand...@gmail.com <mailto:littlehand...@gmail.com> > Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2016 9:45 PM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] New to Group Hi Sandra, I use Parallels Desktop as the virtual go between, Apple 13" pro and W10 pro. Recommend use W10 on an external drive. Highly recommend its a big learning curve to use both at once though.
