The first option will not allow native use of the hardware, which will somewhat hurt performance. I'm wondering about the licensing/activation issues for having 2 separate versions of windows running on the machine, though it appears that it goes OK if you start with Boot Camp, activate, and then run the parallels install. Then install/run Parallels, which can run off of the Boot Camp install, or run completely separately (or both). Second option: Set up Windows 7 using Boot Camp, allocating half the drive or so to the windows partition. Will only be able to use Windows within the VM I'm trying to figure out the best way to install it for my needs:įirst option: Set up Parallels, install a virtual image of W7. I now own Parallels 7, and a full copy of Windows 7. I will not be running any particularly intensive games or video editing. I need to run a few PC-only apps (GPS stuff, mainly, but some work stuff as well).
