[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1839345, member: 396914"] +1 for Ashwin's recommendation. On the virtual Windows machine you won't need to run any AV as long as you don't go into the Internet with it. That will improve performance of the Windows system and just about compensate for the slight performance hit for running as an emulation. I did that for two apps I needed that didn't have Mac equivalents for several years. One of the apps was for tax preparation, btw, so I sympathize with your need. You can even run Parallels in what they call coherence mode, where the Windows apps appear to be running under macOS, but actually the Windows is booted in the background to support them. You can read about it at the Parallels website. If you go Bootcamp, you do NOT need to divide the drive evenly. Use only what you need for Windows and leave the rest for macOS. [/QUOTE]
