For my job I need to frequently test things in Windows 10, and I have been doing that using Parallels. It works really well, but sometimes I need to do hardware tests, and so I had Bootcamp added as well.
I was curious how well it performs, and so downloaded a benchmark test program. Users who have submitted their results range from a score of 200, up to around 5,500. I tested my work MacBook Pro as a Mac, Windows 10 in Parallels, and Windows 10 in Bootcamp. Parallels managed 1100, macOS was 1900, and Bootcamp was 2300. My Mac pretending to be a PC worked better than my Mac as a Mac, and also better than about 75% of the real PCs in the list of results. > On Oct 3, 2019, at 12:31 PM, JJS via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > yes you can use virtualbox or whatever but it will be slower, running an OS > in an OS, or: > > You install bootcamp if you only need Win10: read this > https://support.apple.com/nl-nl/HT201468 it's in dutch but you can find the > English version yourself i think > > then bootcamp will install all needed drivers so win10 will run smoothly on > your mac (note that your fan might blow some harder, windows is resource > hungry) > > Or: > > you go to https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind Now this is a bit more difficult > but very good doable, some IT people prefer this. > > ReFind will create a new bootloader (something like GRUB but better with nice > icons) > > With Refind you are also able to get Linux on it too, so you could create a > triple boot > > > If you want something reversed --> make a mac from a windows/Linux PC, then > you need to go to https://tonymacx86.com and use Clover as bootloader.
