[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1842833, member: 38864"] Ok, so I can't explain why I can't get High Sierra to run in a VM (I kept getting errors about the installer being corrupt, even though it was direct from Apple), but Sierra is running just fine. [ATTACH=FULL]31104[/ATTACH] As you can see, that's on a 2019 iMac, which by no means is capable of running Sierra. But it does run in a VM without hardware acceleration. Now, I can't account for how this will play out on the current model MacBook Pro, but I see no reason why it won't work. Whether or not it will work WELL for you is another matter. If your 32-bit apps are very demanding and benefit from hardware acceleration, then this likely is not a good choice. What you could do is buy the new model and give it a thorough test to see if everything will work to your satisfaction. If not, return it within the window for returns. [/QUOTE]
