However, the software Parallels uses to emulate the hardware has no access to the Mac's device's physical graphics cards. Parallels run inside OSX, so you can run Mac and Windows applications side-by-side. The options are Bootcamp which is a dual-boot system or Parallels.īootcamp works pretty well in some respects, but you can't run Windows and Mac applications side-by-side, and more importantly doesn't allow you to install Windows 11, only earlier versions and will have ongoing future issues with software compatibility going forward, as Autodesk and other software gets updates. The problem is Windows applications don't run on OSX, so you have to run some additional virtualisation software that makes the Mac chips run a 'virtual' Intel x86-based hardware that Windows will support. The prospect of the M1/M2 hardware's performance is appealing, and you don't need to buy an expensive workstation card on top of the system cost to get smooth, slick computing on OSX: Revit on Mac hardware has been a long-desired option.
