Laptop with INPA gone - starting over with a Mac
Hey guys,
I'll spare you the details, but my laptop disappeared and the only real problem - aside from cost - is that I lost the INPA set-up I had been running on a virtual machine. So, I'm starting over and have a couple questions. I have a new Mac and will either use Parallel with some version of windows or Bootcamp and some version of windows. (1) In terms of Bootcamp versus Parallels, I'd save money by skipping Parallels all together. Is there any reason to not use Bootcamp? (2) Which version of windows works easiest? I had success with Windows 8 previously, but don't know if I still have the ISO and product key, so I may need to buy a new license, so I'd like to get that right the first time. (3) Finally, who has the simplest package of files to use? Thanks for your help!!

I would just do what I did on my 2014 macbook pro:
Use VMWare Fusion and load the v3 lite VM package available on this forum. Everything comes pre-setup. |

All you have to do is load it in Virtualbox or VMware and configure the USB port settings. Once you fire up the VM everything is ready to go. |
