Re: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator

Ted, Firstly as others have said “do not give up” I too use professionally (for testing) Oracles excellent VirtualBox - it is decent VM which for home use will allow you to try almost any OS you wish to dabble in. VMWares’s products are also excellent - but are generally

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator

I used BOOTCAMP to set aside a portion of my hard drive for Windows and installed Win8.1 (now upgraded to 10). Now I can boot into either OS and use it. Works great. MAC hardware runs windows better than my old HP laptop. I also purchased VMWare Fusion and used the Bootcamp partition as my

Same here, Eric. And my clock is always OK when rebooting into Windows, though it may be off some integral number of hours for a minute or two. Phil W7OX On 10/12/16 1:13 PM, Elecraft K3 wrote: Hello All, I didn’t read through all the responses, so apologies if this is duplicated. After

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator

Hello All, I didn’t read through all the responses, so apologies if this is duplicated. After running several emulators and not liking them much, I went with Apple’s Boot Camp and prefer it over anything else I’ve tried. It has been much more reliable for me. I use both OSs almost every day

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator

I would not hesitate to go the Fusion or Parallels route.. While parallels allows you to run each individual program inside a mac window, fusion does not.. it runs on a separate desktop. however Fusion has many fewer paid upgrades than parallels. I currently run parallels, it works very well,

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator

Just a suggestion; I don't know what all this would cost you, but $350 can buy a very decent Windows laptop. I bought a Lenovo with an i5 cpu and 8 Gb of ram plus an optical drive and more, from the Microsoft store for that amount. You have to watch for good offers. Dick, n0ce On

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator

Hi Ted, I tried to make the same move with the Mac but ended up going back to a dedicated Windows machine. I use Parallels as the virtual machine. It works fine. It allows you to run each Window's program in a separate window on the Mac screen or you can run all Windows programs under one
