Hi guys I am upgrading to new mac, however, VirtualBox doesn't work with Mac M1/M2/M3 chips.
I have noticed through doing some research that others have been using Parallels on M chip macs with no problems.
I was just wondering if there was any other virtual machines available or is Parallels only option now?
Running BA on virtual machine, Mac M2 chip?

Never seen the point of buying a MAC then partitioning half it's capabilities to run Windows. Just buy a Windows based machine would be my advice.wmat983 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 7:59 pmHi guys I am upgrading to new mac, however, VirtualBox doesn't work with Mac M1/M2/M3 chips.

I have a MAC but had it before I started trading so bought a web based VM subscription. I've just spec'd a new Windows machine last week to replace the MAC so I can give it to my daughter for college. Not buying a MAC to butcher it with stuff like Parallels or partitioning half of it for Windows based VM's, completely defeats the point of buying a MAC.
But it's each to their own I suppose.
Because we have to support a variety of customers I bought a Mac a few years back and really like it.
When Apple introduced the silicon processors you could no longer use BootCamp, I never really like virtual machines. But Parallels works fantastically well with Bet Angel, especially if you use coherence.
But because I do a lot of automation, I also run several VPS's.
So really I've got a bit of everything. Technically I could quite happily just run on a Mac.
