If the topic of virtualization interests you, check out some more of our posts on the subject. There are many other options available for virtualization, including the free UTM app which allows you to easily run Windows 11 on an Apple Silicon Mac for example, but there’s also paid solutions including VMWare and Parallels.
It does this by virtualizing hardware (that you can adjust to allocate RAM, storage capacity, etc), so the operating system itself doesn’t know that it’s not running on actual hardware. I would tell my students not to bother spending $40 for parallels unless they have AT LEAST 8 gig of memory, less than that it is just wouldn't be worth the price.VirtualBox is virtualization software that allows you to run other operating systems in containers on your Mac directly from the application, for example you can run Linux or Windows directly within VirtualBox, and without having to use dual-booting or anything else. The only good news there is really is that there is a 50% discount for students for the basic version of parallels, point the student to this page for all the details:Īs a final note I will say that the minimum recommended specifications for Parallels is quite low and I would expect most users with that bottom of the line computer to have a very unsatisfactory experience. Of course the instructions for doing this are all for virtualbox and so many exact details on installation and running of the windows machine will differ slightly with parallels. The best solution at this time is recommend to the student to buy parallels, which is akin to VirtualBox in that it will allow installation and running of Windows Virtual machines. It was a pretty safe bet that the CPU was amd64 up until Apple introduced their M1 chip Running linux on the M1 chip uses the arm64 architecture instead. I also suspect this is going to be more and more of a problem as Apple moves more and more of their computers to the M1 chips. cheap and easy) solutions at this time to getting students access to DNA Master with the newer M1 hardware.
