If they can't they should expect to pay a lot of money to someone to do it for them and lose access to their system and quite possibly risk their personal data getting lost or stolen. If they can do it themselves, they should expect to spend a weekend to get their system up and running again. That's a significant hurdle for most people. My conclusion is that a large number of users may have TPM disabled in their firmware for various reasons and enabling it may require them to reinstall Windows. If you do enable UFEI the firmware warns that you will probably have to reinstall Windows.

The reason is that I like to boot Windows on an external SSD to test beta versions of the OS but in order to do that you have to change the firmware to boot using legacy mode rather than UFEI. So they will sell more Macs and will be able to redeploy the programmers responsible for bootcamp to much better tasks. Of the very few remaining that will actually ditch macOS completely over this, they will be replaced several times over by the new customers that Apple Silicon will attract.

Of those at most 2 million yearly that are now without bootcamp, most will just get an HP or Lenovo desktop - one with a recent Intel Core i5 and an Nvidia or AMD GPU can cost as little as $500 so not that big of a deal - to complement their primary Mac device. Of the 20 million Macs that sell a year, if over 2 million of those ever see bootcamp I would be shocked. I even bought a new 2020 iMac knowing this will most likely be my last Intel machine, and can run Windows for many years to come until both ASi Macs, and maybe even Windows ARM will have been fully baked when I'm ready to get another new Mac. That Macs could run Windows was key for me buying my first Mac back in 2008. I am one of them, and know many that can't divorce Windows entirely. wasnt sure why everyone was using the thunderbolt one.Many of us bought Macs with the intent of also using them to run Windows.

Regarding networking someone mentioned above to turn off wifi and only use 'thunderbolt Ethernet'.and that works but you can configure the virtual machine with 2 network adapters - one at 'thunderbolt Ethernet' and the second as a shared network and that way you will have wifi access on the virtual machine and still have the Ethernet connection to the car.this is helpful if someone is helping code the car 'virtually' for you.Īs far as a cheap adapter I was thinking a usb 3.0 to ethernet. You can always convert your boot camp virtual machine into a local VM (file on Mac drive) using parallels as well and erase the boot camp partition and get that space back, but you can't convert a parallels VM (file) back to a working boot camp partition, just something to consider if you decided to go the boot camp route. I have one VM that is my normal windows 7, and a second with all the coding stuff on it. You can also copy the VM file onto another hard drive and create several different versions of windows. Regarding using a boot camp partition versus a virtual machine (which makes windows look like a file on your Mac hard drive).I've been using parallels for years and the current version (10) there is no speed difference between running from a boot camp partition or VM file. I use the apple Ethernet to thunderbolt adapter and if you don't have Ethernet on your Mac then yes it's needed.I haven't seen the one on Amazon you're mentioning, but if it connects to thunderbolt, then I imagine it will work. Is that required? I was thinking of buying a cheap $10 adapter off amazon.

Was thinking the footprint might be smaller with parallels but bootcamp is faster? Not sure which one to do.Īlso I saw all you guys are using the thunderbolt ethernet adapter. I was thinking of doing either bootcamp or parallels, since I already have a license. But never got Parallels on the MAC to work. I don't mind having that separate laptop specifically for the car only. Dell Inspiron 11' was on sale, and could not pass up a good buy.

Laptop was not the fastest, so I upgraded the drive to SSD and gave it 8GB of RAM, and voila all works now.

I was so tired of attempting to get it to work just decided to get a new 11' Windows 8 laptop from local computer store for $300. Had another MAC user try to help out, and failed too. Tried various things over a 2 week period, including what others have stated. Made sure the cable was good on someone else's computer, and it was fine. N-o-t-h-i-n-g worked.Įven tried re-installing and failed again to work. I even created a separate network profile with only one single network interface, and ensured it was bridged. I checked the network adapter was correct and all others were disabled. I read various posts about the order of connecting things. I've had the same issues as the OP described and various attempts to fix it never worked.
