Anyone run Quickload using Parallels on a Mac?

Do you already do run parallels on your Mac? When I was getting my first degree (about 15 years ago) I used parallels to run windows programs on my Mac and although it worked, it drastically slowed down my computer, to the point it was very frustrating. When I went back to school again, I had to take several GIS courses and the software had to be on a windows OS. Rather than killing my laptop again I found it worth it just to spend a couple hundred bucks on a cheap windows laptop that would be dedicated to only GIS programs. I’ll admit that I am not familiar with the requirements to run QL but having experience with Parallels I found it much easier to just buy a dedicated laptop.

I have been running it for quite a while now, no issues. The host is a 2015 MacBook 8 GB of Ram, so not a monster, but kept updated to the latest releases, both of MacOS and Parallels. No other use for that VM so I believe the secret is not to mess up too much with Microsoft environment

Did a while back on a 2010 MacBook. Partition for Windows Boot Camp worked fine and QL was the only application I used. Worked fine.

I did, but it was such a pain in the azz, awkward and slow to load, that I bought a used Windows machine to run CADD and Quicload.

Not parallels, but it works fine with bootcamp.
