doesn’t run photoshop well- it’s slow- and the work i do is quite intense- photo ‘dark room’ stuff- takes a lot of horsepower- and virtual machines don’t utilize the computer’s video card unfortunately
I do have virtual box vm for basic edits, which it’s fine for though- also- I do some gaming and VM’s aren’t good for that unless you know how to do the complicated ‘passthrough’ where the VM can use the computer video card- but it’s too complicated for me-
“photo ‘dark room’ stuff-”
Sounds dodgy...
Win 7 and Win 10 VMs are questionable in the performance dept.
It’s always been easy to write s/w that can overcome the h/w. The two need to be somewhat matched wrt calendar eras. Older o/s with contemporary apps seem to work fine in VMs on much newer hardware.
