[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1839341, member: 110816"] If your Windows software needs aren't heavily hardware intensive (think games, CAD or other software), and yours aren't, then you should go down the Parallels route which allows you to best manage your installation with the greatest of ease. I would suggest that you grab an external SSD (I recently picked up a Sandisk 1TB SSD for $150) and install the VM on there to avoid having it take up any space on your internal storage. The beauty of going down the VM route is that you can suspend/resume it VERY quickly without needing to wait. Additionally, you should NOT access the Internet on the Windows VM at all but rather use your Mac. You can download files/data on the Mac side and it's readily available on the Windows VM when you need it. This allows you to run no anti-virus on the Windows machine slowing it down further.
