Windows 7 Professional $250 Under Windows license terms, the only option a normal consumer has for Windows 7 in a VM on a Mac is what's called a Full Packaged Product (FPP) license. That means your Mac OS and Mac apps will be able to use 1GB of RAM while you are running Parallels in which your Windows system and Apps will have 1GB to use.
Lets say you split the RAM down the middle and give Windows 1GB.
When you launch Parallels you can tell it how much RAM to allocate for the Windows system. In addition to the operating system, Parallels has a Convenience Store for. Parallels offers many popular operating system options including the ability to buy Windows 7 from within Parallels. How much RAM for Parallels? Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by aditghai, Mar 25, 2009. I see that if you want to install windows, you need to partition and allocation memory and disk space for Windows. So lets say I buy a Mac with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM. I understand the differences in terms of Bootcamp requiring you to choose at bootup versus running side by side with Parallels but I want to understand the implications around HD and RAM. I am trying to understand how you need to set things up when trying to run Windows from a Mac (using Bootcamp / Parallels).
