I need some advice on my proposed project.
I have a new MBA running latest version of Sierra. I have purchased Parallels 12, and Windows 10 and I would like to set things up on my 4 TB External Drive like this:
Partition 1 (2 TB) (Formatted in HFS+) For Mac Backups
Partition 2 (1 TB) (Formatted in HFS+) For MacBook use ie storage of larger files etc
Partition 3 (1 TB) (Formatted in NTFS and Bootable for Windows 10 via Parallels) I am presuming when installing Windows 10, it will take care of the formatting etc.
Partitions 1 and 2 would be in used by the MacBook only.
Partition 3 would have Windows 10 installed on it and strictly for Windows use.
Now here comes a couple of questions, will the above setup work ok, and does anyone have any suggestions and or comments.
On the MBA Desktop will I see only 1 or 2 Drive Icons or will I see all 3.
Any comments are gladly welcomed, I would hate to be doing things wrong. Thanks
